Is pop star Despina Vandi compatible with not one, not two, but three of Tsitsanis’ rebetiko classics? What is the connection between the queen of Greek pop, Anna Vissi, and art-folk composer Stavros Kougioumtzis? Has pop-folk diva Kaiti Garbi ever sung live a song by bouzouki soloist Thanasis Polykandriotis? And why have I fallen in love with a contemporary cover of a Giorgos Katsaros song by Natassa Theodoridou, more than fifty years after its original release? Summertime, here at GME, is the perfect occasion for coexistence and for ‘togetherness’ beyond genres and labels, inspired by the unexpected encounters of Greek song.
