Description

After his grand concert at the Herodium in Athens with the participation of Yannis Angelakas, and after his appearance in Syros where he surprised the rebetiko fans with an matchless performance of Markos Vamvakaris’s “Frangosyriani” in honour of the great rebetiko composer, Psarantonis returns once again to the familiar setting of Axiothea for a musical journey into his oeuvre, with traditional and contemporary songs (always establishing a dialogue with the tradition), rebetiko compositions and demotic songs of Cyprus.

Featuring:
Psarantonis: voice, lyre, mandolin, tzouras
Niki Xylouri: voice, percussions
Nektarios Kontogiannis: lute
Lambis Xylouris: oud
