Saturday 14 December 2024, Aman molli: Concert of rebetiko from Piraeus and Smyrna (Eirini Zogali, Yvonne Melissa, Panos Tsamouras). The doors will open at 8pm, and music will start at 9 pm.

Three talented young musicians, Eirini Zogali, Yvonne Melissa and Panos Tsamouras, present a repertoire of rebetiko from Piraeus and Smyrna. Favorite compositions from the beginning of the 20th century will be performed.
Eirini Zogali was born in 1997 in Corinth, Greece. Her relationship with music started at the age of 7 with the classical guitar. This first contact led her to audition for the music school of her hometown, in which she graduated in 2015 with a new instrument in hand, the bouzouki.
In 2019, when starting a semester as an exchange student in the Codarts Conservatoire in Rotterdam, Eirini also joined Aman Molli events, performing numerous times at Joe’s Garage and later giving Rebetiko workshops. Since September 2024 based in Athens, Eirini is back for a few dates in Brussels, Paris, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Amsterdam.

Solidarity Voku for squatted Prosfygika in Athens

By: börek - November 27th, 2024  Filed under: Volkseten/Voku

Thursday November 28, 2024, Solidarity Voku for squatted Prosfygika in Athens. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Fundraiser for the community of squatted Prosfygika in Athens
The Community – The building complex of Prosfygika was built in 1933 to accommodate refugees from Asia Minor. Thus, in these circumstances, a lively neighbourhood with community characteristics was established, consisting mostly of working class people. In 1944, the anti-fascist partisans used Prosfygika as a shelter against the Greek and British state army; the bullet marks can be seen on the facades of the buildings to this day, as well as the guerrilla monument which has been erected on the front of Prosfygika and reminds us daily of the history of the place. Today, it is one of the largest building complexes in the centre of Athens, which has not yet accepted the gentrification and exploitation that comes from big capital and the state apparatus. It is a place of strategic importance since it is located between two pillars of power – on one side the Supreme Court and on the other the General Police Directorate of Attica.

They want to create a mosaic of their musical and non-musical experiences associated with this genre, and convey the atmosphere that made them love it.
Mosaic members are Athina Anagnostou (voice), Katerina Bogiatzi (bouzouki, voice) and Athina Koumela (guitar, voice). Special guest appearance by Yvonne Melissa on violin.
The doors will open at 8pm, and music will start at 9 pm. Towards the end of the concert, there will be space to join the musicians on stage for a jam, so bring your instruments!

Friday November 15, 2024, Aman molli experimental: Exploration of audiovisual interventions in post-rebetiko era. From 20:00 to 23:30.

Bring your instruments, your ideas, and come to the session with an open mind!
