from Oannes *

Μια συναρπαστική μεταμόρφωση του [πληκτικού] πατριωτικού τραγουδιού από την Nnenna Freelon, όχι γνωστή όσο θα μπορούσε να είναι.

✻

This fascinating transformation of the [boring] patriotic song by Nnenna Freelon is not as well known as it could be.

◼︎

❝ O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties above thy fruited plain!
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea ❞

Enjoy!

As always, I’m happy to hear your thoughts, however I’d highly recommend a direct dialogue with the …’source’ [why comments are closed here], so please visit Oannes’ page where you can also listen to the music!

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
