Rebet Asker was a restaurant/music venue which saw all the great Greek musicians and from the 20th century through to today pass through it. The walls of this little place in a small side street by Piraeus harbour have witnessed the history of the Greek Rebetiko as it has evolved over the last one hundred years. Some years have passed now, since it closed, but through this series of Sunday gigs we will do our best to recreate some of the magic of these musicians and their songs as it started and developed. Now in its 10th year, this tribute to the magical music of rebetiko, is the longest running series in London dedicated to this music. Come to hear classic songs and even some lesser known gems of great rebetiko musicians such as Toundas, Papazogklou, Skarvelis, Peristeris, Hadjichristos, Vamvakaris, Papaioannou, Tsitsanis, Mitsakis, Hiotis and more!
An afternoon of Greek Rebetiko for all the family!
SUNDAY 11th MAY: The More the Merrier – FundraiserCome join us for a Rebetiko Carnival fundraising event! As we did in 2023, we are opening up the Green Note Rebet Asker series ‘stage’ to rebetiko various musicians and bands to introduce themselves and bring new energy and colours to our rebetiko community.
Bands will perform their acts and towards the end of our gig, all will join forces in playing and singing to celebrate togetherness and share our love for rebetiko music amongst musicians and with the audience.
