Michael Terzis is one of the most important contemporary Greek composers. He studied piano and music theory at the Macedonian Conservatory in Thessaloniki and in Athens with A. Ainian and K. Chronopoulos. He started his music career in 1973, playing piano and songs by Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hadijdakis and New Wave as well as his own compositions at music theaters in the historic part of Athens beneath the Acropolis. He recorded his first piece in 1976 using the lyrics of the great Greek poet Yannis Ritsos. His works have since been performed and recorded by the most famous Greek musicians in the world. This features delightfully varied instrumental Greek music reflective of a beautiful and proud nation. It presents new and authentic bouzouki music by Michalis Terzis.

In that year of 1960, Bob Azzam dominated the sales-charts with three inescapable hits made for parties InchMustaphaInch, InchFais-moi le couscous, chériInch and InchC'est écrit dans le cielInch, three titles that mixed good-natured humor with Oriental rhythms. But Bob had many other strings to his bow, as you can hear in this 'mezze' of 24 songs. Wadie George Azzam, better known by his stage name Bob Azzam, (24 October 1925 in Cairo - 24 July 2004 in Monaco) was an Egyptian singer of Lebanese ancestry.
