Manos Hadjidakis is modern Greece’s greatest composer and songwriter, rivaled only by Mikis Theodorakis for the title. Hadjidakis helped usher in a new era of Greek music in the post-WWII era, elevating the earthiest strains of Greek folk and popular song into respected art forms
In 1959, Hadjidakis began working with the Jules Dassin-directed film Never on Sunday.
