For our first 2026 gig of the Greek Roots series, wonderful friends and musicians from different groups based in London will come together to celebrate not only the new year, but also the musical community, the gorgeous songs and the friendship that bonds us all together throughout these years.
We will be performing rebetiko classics so that the audience can join in the songs as much as possible and it is a really interactive and inclusive sharing of music. If you don’t know the words or are new to this and don’t speak a word of Greek…great…just sing along to La La La”, as we do when we forget the lyrics.
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 10th 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!
An afternoon of Greek Rebetiko for all the family!
