Pavlos Pavlidis is one of the most original and influential voices in contemporary Greek music. He began his career in the mid-90s as the frontman of Xylina Spathia, which left an indelible mark on the Greek alternative scene. After the group disbanded in 2003, Pavlidis embarked on a highly successful solo career, highlighting his unique musical identity and great lyrical talent.
With classic albums such as “Afou Loipon Xehastika” (2004), “Auto ploio pou olo ftanei” (2010), “Istories pou isws exoyn symbei” (2013) and “Mia pyrkagia se ena spirtokouto”, he has managed to create a distinctive artistic universe that has become a trademark of contemporary Greek music.
Almost a year ago, Pavlidis presented his new work titled “Brancaleone” and achieved something remarkable. The album received rave reviews and is considered by many to be the best album he has ever released, revealing an artist who is at the peak of his creative powers, even though his solo career spans more than 20 years and his career as a whole more than 30 years.
The same is true of his live performances, which have been embraced by old and new friends of his music, with consecutive sold-out shows. Surrounded by excellent musicians – Alekos Georgoulopoulos (guitar, synths, vocals), Alexis Stavropoulos (drums, sample pads), Thanasis Tzingovits (bass) and Aki Rei (keyboards) – and accompanied by impressive visuals created by Vassilis Kechagias, he offers his live shows a completely modern audiovisual character, adapted to the standards of our time.
