Greece • Maraveyas Ilegal - Μια ευχή (A wish) (2003)

Kostis Maravegias, a versatile artist & original member of the Mediterranean music family, is a composer, arranger, singer, and instrumentalist. He is a skilled guitarist, pianist and& accordionist. He entered the world music scene early, as member of X Darawish, a multinational band based in Italy.
Radiopirate(2003) is his debut album, rooted in his experience of living and musically acting both in Italy and Greece. On Radiopirate Kostis communicates his view for love, dreaming, traveling and comments on the vanity of moneymaking, racism, and imperialism.
Musically wise, Kostis merges Greek music forms with Italian, Spanish and the so-called Mediterranean temperament. The record primarily sounds like a radio program with a soundtrack: a journey into life. The ingredients are love, passion, and agony for peace.
