Solon, Τaksimi in Time

Solon Lekkas, who was born in 1946 in the village of Pigi, Lesvos, is a special case of amateur self-taught singer. He sings traditional songs of Mytilene, Asia Minor and amane songs. Solon, a bricklayer and stonemason by profession, represents a time lost: with his distinctive voice he sings about it and generously offers it to future generations, while he brings us closer to the timeless, earthly human pain, by singing his amane, thus preserving musical treasures that are grafted in the land of Lesvos and in the Northeastern Aegean.
