In the second hour of the program “Take Your Time” we welcomed Monika Kabasele to the studio of Voice of Greece. The Greek jazz singer, with paternal roots in the Congo, who thrives in Europe and is based in Paris, spoke to us about her life, her influences, her decision to settle in Paris, her collaborations, and her love for Greek music—including traditional songs, old folk tunes, and rebetiko. She revealed her upcoming projects and performed live in the studio one of the new songs she plans to include on her next album.
We also discussed her live performances across Europe, in Athens, and in – Alexandroupoli– the city where she grew up – her love for the Greek language, poetry, and literature (she studied Philology like her mother), and she gave us a date for a concert in Soufli alongside Panagiotis Gkinis from Thrax Punks on Sunday, August 31, before returning to France.
