Greek Music

theodorakisk — Sat, 26 Oct 2013 10:37:18 GMT

Hi,

I am a new subscriber of Spotify, via Cosmote in Greece. Actually I was waiting a lot of time for Spotify to come to Greece and from a Greek operator to support it via free data plan.

Unfortunately, I realized that the most of Greek songs I use to listen are missing. At the same time other streaming services in Greece, like Akazoo, are full of Greek music.

I searched over the internet and I saw that Greek users from other countries are complaining about the sudden disappearance of Greek tracks from spotify exactly the date that Spotify was officially released in Greek market. Is it true? Does it mean that you had all the Greek music and now you stopped to have the rights?

Could you please let us know what is happening in order to let the Greek users who love the Greek music, to decide if will continue to use spotify and pay for the premium service or not?

What are your plans for artists like Thanasis Papakonstantinou, Sokratis Malamas, Hainides etc???

Thank you in advance,

Kostas

I am really fed up with Spotify, because most of my greek music has gone!

I will stop my Spotify order (about 10eur/month) and order Mygreek.fm (less than 2eur/month).

With Mygreek.fm I can listen such of kind greek music Spotify has not never sold!

Bye bye Spotify - forever!

Now Πάνος Κίαμος and Γιώργος Νταλάρας are gone, and none/very few new songs have been added for the greek users.
This is very dissapointing and I am seriously considering to cancel my subscription.

I guess we Greeks must collaborate on this...and share playlists

Dear Kostas,

Εισθε Καλλα;

Είμαι τρια generation Ελλινας and I really enjoy Greek music like Hasapikos, Kalamatianos, Cretan Syrtos plus Zeimbetikos

Even I have three handmade Bouzouki, Laoito and the Baglama

So I would appreciate hearing music on Spotify
