The week that starts today, we will be celebrating a landmark dance rhythm that has been part of some of our greatest songs and that is truly adored by the lovers of Greek music, dancers and non-dances alike, in Greece and abroad. An entire week dedicated to hasapiko? Sure, as this is the foundation of so many beautiful creations, including rebetiko ones. Today, we shall be listening to established rebetiko voices such as Poly Panou, Grigoris Bithikotsis and Giorgos Margaritis, as well as more recent covers by the likes of Giota Nega and Manolis Mitsias.
Produced and presented by Hercules Economou
