The violin experience!
"Excellent on every possible level. I would highly recommend and vouch for Manoli. He is an excellent musician and an fantastic person.
We had the pleasure to hire him for two venues, our wedding and the christening of our son.
I cannot describe in few words how challenging can be to organise not one but two destination events. We had to speak with numerous vendors with a time zone difference of 9 hours and only 10 days arriving before the wedding. Everything was lovely at the end and we created memories of a lifetime but as you can imagine there were a few bumps on the road.
The reason I wanted to include the above facts was to highlight that none of the bumps came from the youngest vendor we hired, Manoli. He was unbelievably professional during the arrangements and for both events.
We initially approached Manoli for one specific occasion. Where we come from, when the bride and groom are getting ready for the ceremony, they are accompanied by traditional music and that’s why we approached him. I was so delighted with his attitude that we requested from him to perform also during the celebrations after wedding and the christening two days later.
His range is admirable. He played traditional Greek and Cypriot music during the preparation of myself and the bride, he performed a contemporary set of globally known artists at the beginning of our after the wedding celebration, he joined the band of the venue and then two days later performed with musicians that he arranged at our son’s christening.
I cannot describe how grateful I have been that MAnolis was suggested to me and we ended having him for two of the most special days in our family’s life.
In summary, he is an excellent musician with a wide range in music, has a great attitude, will provide solutions to any possible situation, always with a smile and he might even look into expanding his range for your event.
I would hire him for every possible event and would recommend him without a second thought.
Enjoy his music 🎼 and let Manoli make your special moments even more special as he did for ours.
Thank you Manoli!

Maria Ploumi
"Maria Ploumi is an exceptional laouto player and singer, seamlessly blending traditional Greek music with contemporary influences. Her recent performance with Chrysoula K. & Púrpura was a masterclass in musicality and emotion. With her expressive laouto playing and warm vocals, Ploumi added depth and texture to a diverse repertoire spanning Greece, Argentina, Portugal, Armenia, and Italy.
The band’s unique instrumentation—kanun, flute, cello, and laouto—created a rich, immersive soundscape, with Ploumi’s precision and artistry standing out as a highlight. Her synergy with lead singer Chrysoula Kechagioglou and the rest of the ensemble was remarkable, delivering a performance that was both technically impressive and deeply moving.
Maria Ploumi’s ability to bridge musical traditions makes her a standout artist in today’s world music scene. Whether leading with her laouto or harmonizing in song, she brings an authenticity and passion that captivates audiences."

Nostra Musica
"These guys are the best, so very talented! They performed for a good 3 hours with all the best greek and some foreign pop hits, mixed with some original songs which were F-I-R-E! They kept us on our feet dancing and singing along! They even played our requests on the spot. Amazingly, they even turned the whole party to karaoke using just a tablet without any previous request or preparation, and made us all a single singing group! Thanasis is an amazing singer and guitarist, while Angelina completes him perfectly and she is always so happy! I love their vibe and I blindly recommend them for your events."
