Diafana Krina (in greek: Διάφανα Κρίνα) was a Greek rock group from Athens, Greece. It consists of Thanos Anestopoulos (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano), Pantelis Rothostoglou (bass), Nikos Bardis (electric guitar, trumpet), Kyriakos Tsoukalas (electric guitar) and Tassos Machas (drums). Their special characteristic (apart from their distinct baritone voice of Anestopoulos)is that they set to music poems (most written by bassist Rodostoglou) rather than usual lyrics.

Diafana Krina were created in 1991. In 1994 they released their first single 'Lionantas monos-Kato apo to Ifestio' by Wipe Out.
They followed in 1996 with the LP 'Egine i apolia synithia mas' In 1997 they participated in the 'Rock of Gods' festival in Athens together with Sisters of Mercy and New Model Army.
In 1998 they release their second LP 'Kati saravales kardies' and did several concerts around Greece including acting as support for the Tindersticks Athens concert. In 2000 they released a single 'Ine pou ola irthan arga' and album 'Evodiazoun agriokerasa i siopes'. In 2001 they appear for three concerts in the UK (London at Dingwalls, Manchester at The Roadhouse and Brighton at Concorde 2).
In 2003 the LP 'Oti apomine ap tin eftihia' is released.
In 2005 the CD 'O giros tis meras se 80 kosmous' is released together with a book that included poems and text. It should be mentioned that every song of the CD is instrumental, creating a would-be "soundtrack" for the reading of the book.
Their latest album is "Ki i agapi pali tha kalei", released in late 2008.

The group's musical style and lyrics' themes haven's changed since their very beggining. Influences of many bands can be detected in their sound, but nonetheless they have created something very special and quite different for the greek scene.

On 1 June 2009 the band announced its dibanding. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
