Throughout his illustrious career, which now spans five decades, Dalaras has collaborated with many other prominent Greek musicians, including Mikis Theodorakis, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest Greek composers of the 20th century. He has also worked with famous musicians from other countries including Sting, Peter Gabriel, Bruce Springsteen, Paco de Lucia and Al Di Meola.
