(TICKETS $35/$25)Hailing from Greece, Fotis Vergopoulos will make his return to Australia this December.
Leading an exceptional ensemble of local and interstate musicians, Fotis represents the new generation of Greek talent, renowned for his remarkable musicianship and deep affinity with rebetika (Greek Blues).
Having toured extensively across Europe, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, Fotis is currently based in Athens. He has collaborated with prominent artists such as Agathonas Iakovidis, Martha Fritzila, Babis Gkoles, and Manolis Pappos.
Rebetika, a genre of Greek folk music often called Greek Blues, emerged in the early 20th century. It features themes of struggle, love, and defiance, characterized by its raw, emotional style and typically performed with instruments like the bouzouki. This genre is deeply embedded in urban Greek culture.
Joining Fotis on stage will be distinguished guests and key figures from the rebetika scene in Australia.
Joining Fotis on stage will be :
Maria Antaras-Dalamagas - Accordion/Vocals
Themelis Samarkos Bouzouki/Vocals
Con Kalamaras - Guitar
Kon Velanis - Baglama/Bouzouki
