Cypriot singer Loukas Yiorkas has just released his new single, titled Yia Tin Ellada, with music and lyrics by Yorgos Moukides.
Released by Cobalt Music, it’s a great zeimbekiko, accompanied by an impressive music video directed by Vangelis Tsaousopoulos and shot at Klafthmonos Square in the heart of Athens, with passers-by joining in, dancing and singing along!
Loukas was born in Aradippou, Cyprus. In 2005, aged 19, and after having completed his military service, he moved to Greece to study Biology at the University of Patras.
In 2008, at the age of 22, he competed in and won the first season of The X Factor Greece.
A year later he released his debut album, Mazi.
A string of successful singles followed.
Together with Stereo Mike, Loukas represented Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Germany with the song Watch My Dance, gaining seventh place.
His 2020 release Pame Ap’Tin Arhi, composed by Loukas himself and penned by Stavros Stavrou, was a huge favourite with fans.
Yia Tin Ellada follows on from Mou Eleipses Poli released earlier this year.
