Singer and author Katerina Tsiridou and cardiologist-author Giannis Tsianitis invite us into the magical world of rebetiko through the gates of the 1st Rebetiko Song Festival, opening on Saturday, October 12, 2024. Two days filled with memories, passions, desires, loves, and genuine grit, organized as a true mosaic of history. Recognized artists, researchers, authors, and the entire community will gather for an innovative gathering set against a mythical world.
In the studio of Voice of Greece, Katerina Tsiridou and Giannis Tsianitis meet with Nikola Angelidis and, together with the festival’s protagonists, discuss the surprises awaiting attendees. In addition to well-crafted musical performances, there will be exhibitions, shadow theater, book presentations about rebetiko, children’s activities, and presentations featuring historical references and documents related to rebetiko, its practitioners, and the rogues of the era.
