…Even our heart suffers and pains
is fully occupied and “drifted” by love
and with bouzouki and guitars
sings softly and sweet like a bird…

10th anniversary of the international rebetiko seminar-meeting in Skyros.

10th anniversary of the international rebetiko seminar-meeting in Skyros. On March 17, 2018, with the co-organizing of the “Parapetamenoi”, the Municipality of Skyros and the Museum of Faltaits, an event was held at the “Underflow Record Store and Art Gallery” for the ten years of the international meeting seminar where we exchanged views and of course played rebetika, that is, the music we love. In the same place there was an exhibition with the archive of Konstantinos Faltaits regarding the rebetiko and information about the cultural activities that take place in Skyros with the contribution of the Folklore and Ethnological Museum of Manos and Anastasia Faltaits and the PEAP of the Municipality of Skyros. We also exchanged views and of course we played rebetika, that is, the music we love.
