Babis Papadopoulos @ Lefkosia Loop Festival, Cyprus video

Just a small part of the amazing 2-day Loop Festival which took place in Nicosia, Cyprus, on the 3rd and 4th of January 2012. Babis Papadopoulos, guitarist from the band Trypes and a long-time collaborator of Thanasis Papakonstantinou, Socratis Malamas, and Floros Florides amongst others, has already left his mark on the Greek music scene. He began his solo career with 2008's 'Scenes from a Journey' and 2010's 'From Draco's Cave', which he presented live in many Greek cities and abroad. In his 'Electric Solo' shows, Babis presents a set containing his own instrumental compositions, as well as tweaked famous songs. His main instrument of choice is the guitar, acoustic and electric, which holds the lead role during the live performance, but at times gives way to any other sound that occurs when the instruments co-exists with loop stations and effects. The sonic result is a blend of musical images colored with rock, ambient, and jazz-electronic elements, as well as improvisation; in other words all those elements that make his sound so characteristic, identifiable and loved.
