The show “Our Town” introduced us to the historical boîte “Apanemia” on Sunday, July 3, on the frequencies of “The Voice of Greece”.
Panos Dimitrakopoulos, the host of Apanemia, describes the “pre-boîte era” in Plaka, the historical Athenian neighborhood.
He talks about the first small music boîtes – nightclubs – and the people who played a significant role in the creation of this “magical era”.
He and Themis Rodamitis talk about: Giannis Spanos, Lakis Papas, Giorgos Zografou, Keti Chomata, Notis Mavroudis, Popi Asteriadi, Michalis Violaris and others.
The show mentions notable meetings of important people at the boîte Apanemia, interesting moments, as well as memorable evenings.
Apanemia was an artistic bridge between different eras, as the last few years saw the emergence of Alkinoos Ioannidis, Loudovikos ton Anogeion, Babis Stokas, Giorgos and Nikos Stratakis, and others.
Songwriters Giorgos Merantzas and Leonidas Balafas speak on the show.
