NEW DIGITAL RELEASE

DIMITRIS KAPILIDIS

DROMOI TOU AIGAIOU (Paths of the Aegean)

A member of the historic Kapilidis musical family, which has left a significant mark on the Greek music scene, Dimitris Kapilidis—composer, musician, orchestrator, conductor, and producer for many decades—is a distinguished collaborator of many renowned Greek artists. Today, ahead of a forthcoming album with his own orchestral compositions, he releases the first single of the collection, titled “Dromoi tou Aigaiou” (Paths of the Aegean).

The track is a rearrangement of his earlier composition “Mnimes apo Fos” (Memories of Light), originally released around two decades ago.

DROMOI TOU AIGAIOU
An exquisite instrumental composition, summery and evocative, that takes the listener on a journey through the islands and neighborhoods of the Aegean—through waves, lighthouses, and sunsets—delivered with the artistic mastery and orchestration of an important Greek artist.
