Neo kyma
Music genre and movement in Greek music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Néo kýma[1] (Greek: Νέο Κύμα,[2] pronounced [ˈneo ˈcima], translated as "new wave") is a Greek music genre which appeared during the so called Greek New Wave movement in the mid-1960s and lasted for about a decade. It was a mixture of entechno and French chansons; it was so named by Giannis Spanos after the French Nouvelle Vague.[3] Most of the Greek New Wave artists released their songs through the Greek label LYRA.
