Marios Tokas created some of the most timeless moments in Greek music—songs loved by generations of listeners and performed by leading vocalists.

In a warm and welcoming setting, Andri Karantoni welcomes distinguished guests and friends who share memories, emotions, and songs. Marios Tokas’s three children—Kostas, Angelos, and Chara—appear on the show to share moments with their father. Joining them are Kostas Makedonas, Rita Antonopoulou, Dimitris Mesimeris, Kostas Kazakas, Eleni Efstathiou, Maria Ioannou, and Andreas Fylaktou.

The evening promises to be moving, nostalgia, and authentic moments, with the music of Marios Tokas serving as the inspiration to remember, sing, and honor one of our country’s most important artists.
