KOKKINO FILI (Red Kiss)
Kalliroi Raouzeou
New Digital Release

Now available on all digital platforms via Protasis Music

The celebrated and multi-faceted artist Stamatis Kraounakis collaborates with Nektarios Vayanos, a composer making his recording debut but already known for his extensive live performance background. Together, they present the heartfelt single "Kokkino Fili" — lyrics by Kraounakis, music by Vayanos — serving as a prelude to the composer’s upcoming album, set to be released this autumn by Protasis Music.

This song is crafted with tenderness, love, and musical sensitivity, and is beautifully performed and co-arranged by the internationally acclaimed vocalist and artist Kalliroi Raouzeou, who lives and thrives professionally in France with an impressive artistic résumé.

A poetic meeting of sound, lyrics, performance, and deep musicality — this is the essence of what awaits listeners through the link below.

Stamatis Kraounakis brings his trademark lyrical brilliance and intellectual depth.
Nektarios Vayanos, a promising and meticulous composer known for his devotion to world/ethnic and contemporary music, unites with
Kalliroi Raouzeou, whose voice becomes the emotional anchor of the song.

Together, they give us “Red Kiss” — a song that opens the soul and lingers long after it ends.

As composer Nektarios Vayanos poetically describes it:
"Red Kiss, dressed in verses born from the threads of the great Dionysian… Stamatis Kraounakis. A doorway into a musical collection, with virgin notes walking the tightrope of an in-between era — radical folk roots, raw and tender. The creators? A fisherman… a fairy… a lyre player… forest spirits… and whispering winds."
