KritikoNiko http://virb.com/kritikoniko My name is Nikos Petros Koulouris and I am of Greek (cretan) origin. Since my childhood I was interested in music. My father very often listened to traditional Greek music which later on brought me to feel this music as my natural. I started playing saxophone at the age of 15 and have been playing until now in many different groups. For 6 years I have been playing as a member of one from the biggest Czech pop groups called KRYSTOF, which has got tens of serious musical awards. Despite this nice and really interesting group I also play different styles (jazz, funky, afro-Cuban and traditional Greek) + sessions with Dj Forest that brought me to completely different field of music - experimental. During last 7 years I have been seriously interested in Greek traditions. I started to dance traditional dances and became a member of the world Greek association Lyceum of Greek Women (Lykion Ton Ellinidon) which has been trying to preserve old Greek traditions. Despite this fact I also started to play for the dancers as a clarinetist. Last 2 years I have dedicated to compose and arrange my own songs that are deeply influenced by Greek traditions. These songs bear traces of the old Hellenic culture - the name of this group is NISOS. ]]> Virb 2.0 (@kritikoniko) en Myspace - Nisos http://virb.com/kritikoniko/posts/links/5535936 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:40:42 -0700 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/posts/links/5535936 Myspace - KritikoNikos http://virb.com/kritikoniko/posts/links/5535933 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:40:20 -0700 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/posts/links/5535933 my-youtube http://virb.com/kritikoniko/posts/links/5535930 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:39:44 -0700 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/posts/links/5535930 photos http://virb.com/kritikoniko/posts/links/5535925 ]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:39:14 -0700 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/posts/links/5535925 Merastri http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/448754 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:09:46 -0700 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/448754 Tis Kritis Kimata http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/448753 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:09:44 -0700 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/448753 Day after Day http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/267024 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 03:54:56 -0700 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/267024 Piji http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/229183 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 02:42:35 -0800 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/229183 Anatoli Anatoli http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/229179 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 02:33:40 -0800 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/229179 foni apo tin thalassa http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/162311 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 01:35:53 -0700 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/162311 Mana http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/162308 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 01:31:36 -0700 http://virb.com/kritikoniko/audio/162308 Ápo ton kairó pou Évghales to mávra sou ta roúcha http://virb.com/kritikoniko/videos/1742544 An old Cretan traditional song inspired by the music of Asia minor.
