About

Vasilis Karras was an institution of Greek music, known for his signature raspy voice and his ability to move thousands with his tales of love and loss. Born in Kavala and raised in Thessaloniki, he became the soul of the Northern Greek "Pista" (stage). His career was marked by total devotion from his fans, who famously chanted "Vasilis, you live, you lead us." Following his passing in late 2023, his 2025 posthumous releases topped the charts, and by 2026, his legacy as the "arch-singer" of the working class is firmly established. He remains an untouchable figure in the world of heavy Laïkó.
