MARAVEYAS

Maraveyas Ilegál is the work of the Greek singer-songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist Kostis Maraveyas. Maraveyas sings in Greek, English, Spanish and Italian. He began his musical career in Italy where he studied Statistics & Mathematics at the University of Bari, as well as piano, harmony, counterpoint & fugue at the Conservatory Niccoló Piccini of Bari. While there, he played with groups such as Yamas and X-darawish, which combined a variety of languages and musical styles. His first album with X-darawish (il Manifesto 1998) was released in Italy. His music combines Mediterranean and Balkan elements, colorful arrangements and jazz and bossa nova influences.

He returned to Greece in 2001 and became a solo artist. In 2003, he released his solo debut “Radiopeiratis” (FM Records 2003), signaling the arrival of a new exciting talent in the Greek music scene. His second album “Maraveyas Ilegal” (Cantini 2007) came out in 2007 to enthusiastic reviews and audiences. His most recent release is “Welcome To Greece” (EMI 2009). He’s been touring regularly with his live band in Greece and other European countries, such as Germany, Austria, Italy and Belgium. Maraveyas Ilegal’s live shows in Greece are often sold out.

Maraveyas has performed on the opening night of Prix Europa in Berlin, the biggest annual European trimedial festival and competition. The concert, which was broadcast live in most European countries, will be released as an album shortly. The song “Rue Madame” was premiered during that concert and a competition was launched for the video shoot, in collaboration with Dailymotion.com. It was the first worldwide director competition by a Greek artist.

His latest digital single “Fila Me Akoma” featuring Panos Mouzourakis, the greek cover version of Lorenzo Jovanotti’s “Bacciami Ancora”, has won 2 MAD Video Music Awards for Best Alternative Video and Best Duet (MAD TV is Greece’s #1 rated music network), as well as nominated for Best Greek Act at the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards. “Fila Me Akoma” is the top song in the radio airplay charts in Greece for 2011.

Maraveyas also serves as host of the music documentary “Mesogeios” (“Mediterranean”) for 2011/2012 television season, a production of Greek public television ERT. It’s a road trip to cities of the Mediterranean with Maraveyas exchanging ideas and sounds with local musicians as well as jamming with them.

Η συναυλία στις 27/06/14  στον κήπο του Μεγάρου Μουσικής Αθηνών = SOLD OUT 
Ευτυχώς σήμερα θα εμφανιστεί ξανά, πάλι σε sold out εμφάνιση,στον ίδιο χώρο.
Κατάφερα να εξασφαλίσω εισιτήρια.
Δεν θα προλάβω την έναρξη λόγω δουλειάς, αλλά σίγουρα και το finale εντυπωσιακό θα είναι.
Ο Ιάσονας σιγοτραγουδάει μέρες τώρα το τραγουδάκι της Λόλας. 
Γίνεται να χαλάσεις το χατήρι ενός παιδιού;
