Yoel Soto – bass

Christos Lainas- guitars, synth

 

Foivos Delivorias and his collaborators bring their new show to Preveza for a one and only concert, on the last day of the 21st Preveza Jazz Festival.

 

With the brave crew of friends (Sotiris Douvas, Kostis Christodoulou, Kostas Pantelis, Yoel Soto) and with the select participation of "Kallithea" producer Christos Lainas, they come from the parallel universe of reality to the port of Preveza, to find what is not seen, what was always by our side, what never stopped.

 

A musical performance based on all of Foivus' songwriting from the age of 16 to the present, with electricity and emotion, with the ancient treasure in the chest and the mirror broken all over.
