Thanasis Voutsas – “KRAK”

Thanasis Voutsas introduces himself to the public for the first time as a songwriter and presents his new self-titled album KRAK live, on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at PLYFA. The concert marks both the occasion and the starting point for his first acoustic musical work: a cycle of nine songs born out of the need for inner expression and personal storytelling.

KRAK is a musical work shaped with the most faithful tools: experimentation, imagination, dedication, and long nights of work. Its songs are the distillation of Thanasis Voutsas’s many years of experience in singing. He writes and performs songs of the soul—songs born in that small fissure, the inner crack, the emotional “break” that accompanies both the small and the great tremors of life.

This is a song cycle that moves through time: from the blurred memories of childhood to the great silences of adult life. Thanasis Voutsas reconstructs his lived experiences in order to narrate, in his own way, stories of love, loss, unfulfillment, desire, escape, and return.

A special place in the album is held by the song “Silence 8′46″”, a tribute to difference and a protest against racism and violence. The song is interpreted by the “High Priestess” of Greek song, Maria Farantouri, fulfilling a deep artistic wish of the creator—one that springs from his admiration and love for the iconic performer.

The album is produced by Nikos Zoudiaris, who also curated several of the arrangements. With his perspective, aesthetic sensibility, and valuable experience, he played a decisive role in bringing forth a work that creatively balances between the classical and the contemporary. Equally significant is the participation of outstanding musicians, who generously offered their artistry, enriching the imaginative world of the songs.

The live presentation of KRAK at PLYFA is an invitation to an acoustic, inward journey—a meeting with the cracks, the silences, and the truths that unite us.
