Today, we will be honouring the classical rebetiko ladies that paved the way for the establishment and expansion of the world of rebetiko under some very harsh conditions. Our tribute concerns three majestic voices: Stella Haskil, Marika Ninou and Sotiria Bellou. They represented the essence of rebetiko as the music of the poor and the dispossessed, with lyrics describing the joys, the sorrows and the difficulties of everyday life.
