Manolis Pappos and his collaborators take us on a journey into the world of rebetiko, the emblematic musical tradition of the port of Piraeus. Deeply rooted in the experience of the refugees from Asia Minor and shaped by the city’s working classes and urban subcultures, rebetiko carries stories of exile, nostalgia, and resilience. Through the wealth of songs born in Greece’s main harbor, they will seek to highlight this living heritage, shedding light on its enduring power and bridging past and present.

Performers : Manolis Pappos (bouzouki), Fotis Vergopoulos (bouzouki, vocals), Dassos Kourtis (accordion), Vasilis Prodromou (guitar, vocals), Dimitris Sitos (piano), Anatoli Margiola (vocals).

Manolis Pappos

Manolis Pappos is one of the most important composers and bouzouki players of the last 50 years, with more than 800 compositions to date. He is well known for his collaborations with Greek and international artists like Theodorakis, Xarhakos, Arvanitaki, Galani, Ntalaras, Papazoglou, and Loreena Mckennitt, Vinicio Capossela, Ross Dally, Nasheer Shama, Michel Hatzigeorgiou and many others. Two of his compositions have been used by John Williams in the soundtrack for 2005 Steven Spielberg film "Munich". He is the perfect example of the Greek virtuous player: he experiments with a great number of string instruments such as bouzouki, outi, madolino, tzouras, baglamas and many others from the Mediterranean, Africa and Asia.
