Karayagini-bandet med base i København spiller rebetiko, en genre af traditionel græsk musik, der udtrykker de græske flygtninges kamp i Piræus, der flygtede fra Lilleasien i 1920'erne, og består af sange om barske forhold, stofmisbrug og kærlighed. Defineret af unikke melodiske strukturer og instrumentering. Kom, tag dine venner med og få en hyggelig tid fyldt med musik i centrum af byen!
Christian Sylvest Simonsen på guitar og lavta, Thanos Kandylas på cello og Maria Papadimitraki på bouzouki spiller udvalgte sange af den "græske blues", som rebetiko er blevet karakteriseret.
