The Rebetiko song flourished in the first half of the
20th century and forms a separate chapter of Greek folk culture. With
influences from the folk and the Asia Minor songs it reflects the historical
and social context of the era and particularly the lives of the poorest and
most vulnerable social groups. Today it represents a living and popular
cultural heritage which is recognized not only by the Greeks, but also by the
whole of mankind.
The content of the term ‘Rebetiko’ acts as an umbrella
for three different musical genres and periods. Beginning with the Asia Minor
destruction from 1922 until the 1950s with the Piraeus and the archontorebetico
(bourgeois rebetiko) songs. Some composers composed songs for all three
different periods.
In our present event will be performed songs by
composers of all three periods.
