TROIKA by Vangelis Christidis

This is an album inspired by the biggest crisis my home country has ever experienced.

Background: In 2010 Greece was no longer able to get money from the capital markets. As a result, the Troika came into the country (ECB, IMFand the European Union) and introduced several severe financial measures.From the start of the crisis in Greece till now, there have been disastrous consequences both on a social and economic level- hunger, extremely high unemployment rate,desperation suicides, people leaving the country and rising racism to name a few.

You can download my album for free but you can always enter a price if you want to. I hereby declare that every single amount of money generated by this Album will be donated to:

«Το Χαμόγελο του Παιδιού» (The smile of a child) (a non-profit voluntary organisation taking care of the smallest and most helpless persons in society, children).

I was born and grew up in Germany. Started making music by ten, and played since then with several bands and in various gigs and venues. Worked together with artists such as Fabrizio Levita, Kostas Papaioannou (POLL), Theofania Papathoma, O. Ioannou and many others. I published in 2012 my first physical CD, vangelisc.bandcamp.com, I like instrumentals, particularly movie soundtracks.
