Velopoulos on the death of Vassilis Karras

“A genuine Northern Helladite, my personal friend for 30 years, has left us… Vasilis, my friend, we will miss your directness of speech, your kindness and good nature! Your voice is metal, your soul is steel, but your heart is human and you are always there for your friends and those in need…” said the president of “Hellenic Solution” Kyriakos Velopoulos on the death of Vassilis Karras.

And he added that “we will never forget what you contributed to pure folk song my friend! You fought for a long time, you came out victorious but the fight was unequal. Maybe because up there in the sky your voice will be heard better!’

New Left

“The popular singer Vassilis Karras was the special voice that horizontally expressed a large part of Greek society with his songs. He identified more than anyone else with simplicity on the big tracks in the last decades, but also with the overlooked concept of the romantic “capsule”, says New Left in its statement on the death of Vassilis Karras.

He points out that “coming from Thessaloniki, he conquered Greeks everywhere in the world, either by singing Pyx Lax, or Christos Nikolopoulos, or his own songs” and emphasizes that “he gave the world joy and optimism, while in his special way he spoke about private stories of each”. “The Greek people loved him”, notes New Left and expresses condolences to the family of the deceased.
