The Most Unique Song I'm Listening To...

So I have a new hobby and it is learning Greek. From starting from nothing, I think I am progressing decently. I am going to Greece in October and I want to know how to converse a little. Plus, I just needed something new and challenging to focus on so I plan to keep up with my studies and really "go for it" where language fluency is concerned.


So Greek is hard and I am trying all different types of studying to integrate the language into my life. Enter... music. I can't really find any Greek Glam bands. There are a lot of Greek metal (especially black metal) acts but most sing in English. So the next best thing is pop I guess. So I set out to find a pop tune performed in Greek by a native speaker with a ton of views. I settled on Νίκος Οικονομόπουλος and his song "Βαλ' το τέρμα" which basically means "Put it to the max."


Nikos is very famous in Greece - he won a singing talent show there over a decade ago. So everyday, I play Βαλ' το τέρμα to get a feeling for the flow and pronunciation of words. This is definitely the most interesting thing I'm listening to these days!
