Giorgos Kakosaios is a 20-year-old singer from Livadeia, Greece. Son of popular singer Giannis Ploutarchos, he is giving steady steps in creating his own music career.

The song is part of the soundtrack for the Greek movie "The black bachelor".
Evelina returns to our site with a brand new single! The Finnish singer has just released "Kyynelii", a disco-infused pop that brings a bubbly chorus and a super fun atmosphere that hides pain underneath.
