These international musicians should be seen as the phrase that does capture something about the group of players I discuss. What would that be, though? I mean, Demis Roussos – admit you checked the link first, before you read these lines – doesn't seem to be similar to those I mentioned in my posts, but think more thoroughly. You did? They you would agree he has a set of characteristics that are connected with his homeland – he is basically a Greek schlager singer –, yet he internationalizes them with his own peculiarities, i.e. his voice. While I do understand why many saw him as a joke, pay close attention to one of his greatest hits. There's something here only a few, including him, can achieve, i.e. a certain Mediterranean melancholy that doesn't feel suffocating.
