Angelique Ionatos

Angelique Ionatos is a greek singer, songwriter and guitarist who lives and works in France. She is inspired by poetry mostly Greek poets, her favorite being nobelist Odysseas Elytis. Her sensual and deep voice is by itself pure poetry. In this album Angelique sings in Greek, Mikis Theodorakis on the erotic poetry of Dimitra Mandas. Included you will find a nice booklet with photos and the lyrics in three languages. Simply a small and rare masterpiece.

Directed by enigmatic and brilliant documentary essayist Chris Marker, THE OWL’S LEGACY is an intellectually agile, engaging, and sometimes biting look at ancient Greece, its influences on Western culture and how many eras have reinterpreted the Greek legacy to reflect their own needs. Each of the 13 episodes is centered on a potent Greek word: from “democracy” and “philosophy” to “mythology” and “misogyny”. Marker convenes and films symposia meals featuring wine and thoughtful conversation in locales including Paris, Tokyo, Tbilisi, Berkeley and an olive grove on the outskirts of Athens.
