«In the past, only refugees and labourers played rembetiko. Today, as the country is in crisis, «Greek blues» are experiencing a revival - as cover versions played by the young-er generation» (SRF). This also applies in Basel.
«In the past, only refugees and labourers played rembetiko. Today, as the country is in crisis, «Greek blues» are experiencing a revival - as cover versions played by the young-er generation» (SRF). This also applies in Basel. In 2015 Camille Emaille, Kimon Barakos and Tassos Tataroglou Paparouna founded a trio. They want to play rembetiko and ex-periment with it, through instrumental combinations, various sounds, energies and moods. The concert part of CULTURESCAPES is their first as a quintet, which corre-sponds to the traditional setting.
