Ghetonia (neighborhood) is a cultural group based in Calimera, Grecìa Salentina in southern Italy. It is a cultural organisation that aims to preserve the music, poetry, language and folklore of the Griko-speaking people by documenting the various aspects of Salento’s traditional life, history and language. However, Ghetonia is best known for its musical group whose members include Roberto Licci, Emilia Ottaviano, Salvatore Cotardo, Emmanuelle Licci, Angelo Urso and Franco Nuzzo. Next to their repertoire, we will be listening to covers of their songs performed by Greek artists such as Eleni & Sousana Vougioukli, Alkinoos Ioannidis and Katerina Papadopoulou.
