'Arhontorebetika' style became a very popular genre in Greek music in the 1950s and 1960s.

A cross between Rebetiko and the 'light' music, both equally popular at the time, presents musicological as well as cultural interest. With its upbeat rhythm, light-hearted themes and easy-listening tunes were loved by all social classes and served by composers from both genres.

In this concert we will play the all-time classics of 'Arhontorebetika' and the short introductory talk will trace the beginnings and developments of this style of music.
