Laikindia at Paxos Festival
Laikindia at Paxos Festival 2021.
Laikindia bridges Bollywood in India with the Greek folk music of the 60’s. It presents a selection of the “Hindu” folk songs, which were very popular in Greece in the period 1955-1965, connecting them with their original form from the Indian films of the time and the charming protagonists such as Nargis and Mandumbala. In the Laikindia covers, the great folk hits by artists such as Kazantzidis and Angelopoulos meet the original melody of the great Indian composers such as Shankar Jaikishan. The band was formed in the spring of 2020. The five professional musicians, but above all friends, started their live performances in the summer in Athens and then continued with a mini tour in the Aegean islands. In February 2021, they appeared on the ERT1 TV show “To Alati tis Gis” (“The Salt of the Earth”) entitled “Music stories with young people”.
Laikindia are: Kinjal Vora (vocals), Violette Boulanger (violin-vocals-arrangements), Eva Mylona (accordion-vocals), Salvatore Conticello (lute-vocals) and Maro Panagi (percussion).
