Vangelis, a cultural icon

Born Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou in Volos on March 29, 1943, his career spanned an arc over many different eras and tastes in Greek history. Vangelis was not just a great musician, he was an icon, an all-around inspiration to everyone.

His legacy continues to grow as new generations of fans are discovering his unique musical heritage.

It's been 2 years since the tragic loss of Vangelis and his personality still resonate strongly within us all. Although Vangelis is no longer physically here, his presence is more powerful than ever. He left a void that has yet to be filled.
