Today I will be featuring the music of Arkadia (pictured here). The group mentions the show on their website here and on their facebook page.

The photo is courtesy of Arkadia. Please note that the show broadcasts on Sunday from 1 - 3 PM. The selections from Arkadia will probably air at about 2 PM (which is why they mention 2 PM).

We also heard some music from Nana Mouskouri, below is a video of her from the
1960 film "Rantevou sthn Kerkyra" ("Rendez-vous at Corfu") singing Kapou Yparxei I Agapi Mou ("My love must be somewhere out there").
