Rembetika - Greek Blues

Factory Theatre, Sydney

5th July 2008

"A Muse Events Production" Rembetika was the music of the urban Greek underground from the 1920’s and one could only truly understand and experience Rembetika by living in that era; until now. The production team has recreated on stage the look, feel and atmosphere of a traditional Athens Rembetika den which is then filled by the haunting and brooding music of Rembetika which will transport you back in time to Athens. “The music of the Greek Blues is moody and reflective one minute, jubilant, boisterous and full of life the next. In the hands of these young musicians Rembetika music receives a new lease on life” says the editor of the Greek Australian Epsilon Magazine. The maestro of Rembetika, Peter Kalandranis explains Rembetika is “not just a sound. It is a way of life”.
