A few words about the project

The new project by Tasos Ioannidis "My Good Self" deals in a simple and direct way with the concepts of "self-love", of "self-sufficiency", of "self-esteem", of positive thoughts and suggests playful ways of managing negative emotions. Pippi the Apprentice

Fairy, along with Achidas, Hachanena and Lachanidas, take us on a journey to a "underfoot"Trail search for our... good self, through an original story with musical stops to the most favorite songs of the series "Cabbages and Cabbages", as well as brand new songs and cheerful game songs, full of humor and ...Goodness. The method "Sing and Learn"becomes the "magic key". The children discover that with the vehicle of music and singing, the learning process becomes a game. Will they manage to convince the adults?

Lachanas and Hachanas - History of the project

It all started from an idea of the composer Tasos Ioannidis, to set the lyrics of the first grade book to music, in an effort to help his young daughter Hermione to memorize them more easily. Thus was born the first CD "LAHANA and HAHANA - 24 songs from the Language Book of the 1st Primary School", with the participation of Maria Farantouri, of Eugene Spatharis and the Ilias Mamalakis, which was destined to be loved by young and old alike! As if that wasn't enough, another amazing idea came and lodged itself in the imaginative dad's mind. In lyrics by Pavlina Pampoudi and with the participation of Eleni Vitalis and the Glyceria, did the "Training in Songs!" Yes, yes, as you can hear. And not to leave the younger children unsatisfied, he soon followed up with "Here's Kindergarten!" with songs for preschoolers and the participation of Bright Dart, and of Pantelis Thalassinou. This was followed by "Rhythms and Numbers" with the participation of Manolis Mitsia and the Yannis Kotsiras, the "Song Slides" with the participation of Miltos Pachalidis and the Melina Aslanidou, the "Christmas Lachanas and Hachanas", the "Lullabies for 4 Seasons" with Christos Thebes and the Alcmeni Basacarou, the "12 Labours of Hercules", "Grammar in Songs" and soon, the new album "LAHANA and HAHANA - My Good Self.
