THE POET…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Captain Montesantos A., was born for adventure and wandered in Pacific Ocean and took the baptism Captain – Phantom “. He died in 1965 in \u201cDafni\u201d Neurological Hospital of Athens, where the last 10 years of his life he wrote his two poetry collections October 28″ and ” Ouracas”…<\/span><\/p>\n

It never deserved to see them published, just he offered them to his friends or visitors to the hospital as handwritten poems.<\/span>
\nMany of them are probably been lost forever…<\/span><\/p>\n

His few partnerships with the press (local Athens and radio programs) classified him as the “poet of long sea voyages\u201d (History of Greek Modern Literature, 1985).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>…AND THE MUSIC<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe music material consists of eight songs and three instrumental, two of them are adaptations of traditional dances of Kefalonia \u2013Cephalonia- Ionian island, where Montesantos was born (and Debonos also…).<\/span>
\nWith small musical bridges between the songs the whole project sounds like a complete musical story. The melodic lines together with jazz improvisation elements and tapes, give a strong voice to the poet and an atmosphere of adventure to the listener.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the booklet are included poet\u2019s manuscripts, a comment of the psychiatrist Mario Markides who met the poet at the beggining of his career, a glossary of nautical terms and map \u2013 guide to the listener.
