The notes are fairly similar, but in Aura it’s one of those intros where the guitar does all the work ;). In Sta Metaxota, the notes give you a completely different feel because of the speed (or rather, the slowness) and the picking; it doesn’t have the guitar’s legato. The intro to Aura isn’t fully pentatonic either—there are semitones too.

Good evening, everyone,
I heard the following song by Kapnisis with Rita Sakellariou from 1962 today, and I really liked it:
I’m sharing it here and hope you like it too.
Have a lovely evening.

Ah, this one? For a moment I thought the answer to the quiz was #2282.

Now that you mention it, I noticed the similarity too when I accidentally worked out one while trying to work out the other.
Isn’t this song traditional? I didn’t know it was an authored composition, but the video says music and lyrics by Tasos Chalkias.

I find it difficult, since Kitsakis’s audio/video recording is older:

Yes, it’s traditional, just like you 
.
Why don’t they name someone as the beneficiary in the others?
If they don’t, the rights go to the company.
The same thing happened with the traditional songs from Asia Minor.

Exactly as Spyros says! The “Willow”—the fragrant willow, you know—is apparently credited to around ten composers and another twenty or so “arrangers”, who arranged the melody by singing one note a little longer than the others. Domna Samiou used to go on about “her own” composition, which Savvopoulos persuaded her to register in her name; I just can’t remember the name of the famous song.
edit, 2 minutes later: “Vre dirlanda, dirlandantada”.
And as I’ve said before, I had the honour of meeting the person who wrote the music and LYRICS for Erotokritos!

We said (Tsarouchis, that is): You are whatever you say you are!
Come on, let’s get back on the path of the “Lord” after all those detours.

Not for all of them. Some are listed as traditional. Here it seems rather blatant to me because, if I’m not mistaken, it was posted by Tasos Chalkias’s son, who sings it.

A truly good modern performance featuring a bozuk (Arabic bouzouki) that was mentioned recently.

Meanwhile, the girl in the video is Sunny Baltzi.
That’s to be expected; I think you can see Sunny everywhere. Personally, I’ve spotted her everywhere from a dilapidated rooftop squat nearly thirty years ago to Eurovision about fifteen years ago.
A channel with Turkish songs. It also features Greek singers. Poulo, Dalgka, Roza and others…

I’ve been keeping an eye on him too. A really interesting channel. Lately he’s been uploading loads of new (well, old, actually! 
) stuff.
This one is the Aleppian manes / When You Go Abroad!
