The «Atractos» is the fourth personal album. (Atractos = Airplane's body without the wings) Fascinated by the music and the immense talent of the great Greek composer Vangelis Papathanasiou, he thought to paly some of his tunes... Having in mind this thought and heart full of love for what he does, he met Vangelis and with him chose the tunes that could be editing with clarinet... The album is the result of this meeting with the great composer... 13 great tunes, played in a way that will travel us to Greece dreamed Vangelis when he wrote and Thanassis Vassilopoulos when he played them... Thanassis began learning clarinet from his father George Vasilopoulos from the age of five...
