The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) invites you to the 16th event of the  monthly series DIALOGUES on 

The History of Rebetiko   

In the March installment of the DIALOGUES series, we embark on a retrospective journey on the history of rebetiko. Musicians, academics, and craftsmen of musical instruments discuss the roots and influence of rebetiko in the world music scene, its sociological value, its stigmatization and relatively recent destigmatization, as well as the cultural trends that have transported it across the globe.

This time DIALOGUES travel to Syros, birthplace of Markos Vamvakaris, a leading figure in the rebetiko movement. Additional information will soon follow on the exact location where the event will take place.

Speakers to the event include*:

Dimitris Mistakidis, Musician – Teacher, School of Arts, Department of Traditional Music, University of Ioannina 
Giorgos Kokkonis, Assistant Professor, Department of Music Studies, University of Ioannina
Karolos Tsakirian, Luthier
Tanya Veanous Tsakirian, Luthier

*Mr. Stavros Xarchakos who, was originally announced as a speaker, has cancelled his participation.

The discussion between the speakers and the public will be coordinated by journalist and iMEdD Managing Director Anna-Kynthia Bousdoukou.

After the discussion, live music by Dimitris Mistakidis and friends, plus students and teachers from the Syriot music school “En Chordais & Organois” (The Great School of Markos), will follow, immersing us in the history of rebetiko.
