Through beloved songs that capture the experiences and social reality of their time, the performance highlights the richness and uniqueness of rebetiko. A special highlight of the production is the participation of the acclaimed rebetiko singer Giorgos Tzortzis, whose long-standing presence and deep knowledge of the genre lend authenticity and special artistic significance to the event.
