Konstantinos Bhta needs no introduction. With Stereo Nova in the early 90s, he marked a new era for the country’s music scene. With a unique lyrical talent that accurately and sensitively captured the Athenian urban experience, combined with electronic dance music at a time when the genre was experiencing its greatest artistic boom, he delivered some of the top albums of the 90s that influenced generations of producers.
At the end of the 90s, he would embark to a new and equally important career as a solo artist, releasing unforgettable records (“Gia Sena Me Agaph”, Agria Xloh”, “Argos” etc.) collaborating with important local musicians (Popi Asteriadi, Dimitra Galani) and creating several special projects like the rework of Manos Xatzidakis’ music in “Transformations” LP, his original take on the poetry of Yannis Ritsos, presented at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, and the music he presented at the opening of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. At the same time, he started writing soundtracks to important plays and documentaries (“Angel Baby”, “Agelastos Petra”, “Cleansed”, “Zakros” etc.), with the creative and commercial success of “2”, directed and choreographed by Dimitris Papaioannou, being one the most special moments of his career.
In 2024, he released his tenth solo album called, “The Hand”, an ideal occasion to return to Plateia Nerou after the historic Stereo Nova performance in 2023, to present a set that will take you through the highlights of his magnificent musical career.
