About this exposition

´Rebetiko is a Greek musical and cultural expression directly linked to song and dance that initially spread among the urban lower and working-class populations in the early twentieth century. The element is performed in public and performers encourage audience participation. Rebetiko songs contain invaluable references to the customs, practices and traditions of a particular way of life, but above all the practice is a living musical tradition with a strong symbolic, ideological and artistic character. ´ (UNESCO,2017) What happens to Rebetiko when 9 Helsinki based musicians from 5 different countries around the world meet, more than 100 years from its birth and more than 2000km away from its birth place? The answer lies where Greek Rebetiko meets Samba from Finland, Swing from Portugal, and Zeimpekikos from Aruba.
