On Sunday, 03 August, from 12:00 to 14:00 Athens time, the Voice of Greece program “Our Town” welcomes Babis Tsertos and Nadia Karagianni. The two acclaimed artists will share stories from their rich musical journeys — the milestones in their careers, their collaborations, and the composers who have shaped their paths.
As siblings and long-time performers, they’ll talk about the state of Greek laiko song today: its new voices and musicians, the kind of knowledge and lived experience the genre requires, and what it means to carry this tradition forward.
They’ll also reflect on how people celebrate today — especially at “Greek Panigyri” settings— and how the natural environment can influence the interpretation and delivery of a song.
Drawing from decades on stage, they’ll speak about the great creators of Greek laiko, the neighborhoods where it blossomed, and the lasting values it expresses — emotion, resilience, and connection to everyday life.
