Three Greek Folk musicians of London come together to - finally - play overlooked songs that commonly stay off the setlists as “not up-beat enough”. An afternoon of “heavy” rebetiko from Markos Vamvakaris to Yovan Tsaous and back to Markos.

Τρεις νταλγκαδιάρηδες του Λονδίνου ενώνουν τους σεβντάδες τους για να παίξουν - επιτέλους - τα τραγούδια που όταν τα παίζουμε ο μαγαζάτορας μας ζητάει να παίξουμε “κάτι πιο ανεβαστικό”. Μια βραδιά με βαριά ρεμπέτικα, από τον Μάρκο στον Γιοβάν Τσαούς και πίσω στον Μάρκο.

Sotiris Georgiou: Guitar, Vocals
Fotis Tsiamouras: Bouzouki, Baglama, Vocals
George Angelopoulos: Bouzouki, Baglama, Vocals

Additional Info:
Rebet Asker-Greek Roots Series:An afternoon of Greek Rebetiko for all the family!Rebet Asker was a restaurant/music venue which saw all the great Greek musicians and from the 20th century through to today pass through it. The walls of this little place in a small side street by Piraeus harbour have witnessed the history of the Greek Rebetiko as it has evolved over the last one hundred years. Some years have passed now, since it closed, but through this series of Sunday gigs we will do our best to recreate some of the magic of these musicians and their songs as it started and developed.
Now in its 13th year, this tribute to the magical music of rebetiko, is the longest running series in London dedicated to this music. Come to hear classic songs and even some lesser known gems of great rebetiko musicians such as Toundas, Papazogklou, Skarvelis, Peristeris, Hadjichristos, Vamvakaris, Papaioannou, Tsitsanis, Mitsakis, Hiotis and more!
