As Burns underlined, discovering, meeting and working with musicians from all over the world is fundamental for Calexico.

"As musicians we are fortunate to have each other, because we have a bridge, and I think that's the message the music brings: that we can be together, even when we are miles apart, we have music that brings us closer," he stressed.

"So, for me, when I come back here, I am always with an ear open, wanting to hear new sounds," he added.

Other surprises Calexico had in store for the Greek audience included duets with popular Greek singers Monica and Andriana Babali, with whom Joey Burns sang a much-loved Greek oldie entitled "What is this thing called love?".

The 1955 classic first became famous when Italian actress Sophia Loren sang it in the film "Boy on a dolphin" two years later.

"It's a beautiful song, I love the message "S'agapo, s'agapo" (I love you, in Greek), we need that reminder that we are all one and that love is the answer. Love is going to champion hate and racism and division," Burns highlighted.
