TAKIM - KAFE AMAN: GREEK ENTERTAINMENT!

Six of the most important virtuosi of Greek folk music come together in the dynamic ΤΑΚΙΜ band and invite us to a charming music journey through the routes of Greek refugees in time.
Kafe Aman Greek Entertainment comes back to life in a special musical performance put together and presented by Lambros Liavas.
Stops along the route are Ioannina with “Yali kafene”, the Balkans with “Greji-Hani”, Istanbul with “Despoina’s Casino” at Tataula [Kurtuluş], Smyrna [Izmir] “bires” on the Seafront Promenade, as well as America with the Kafe Aman of Katsaros and Marika in Chicago and New York, paying homage to Greek immigrants in the USA., from the end of the 19th century to the 1960s.
An adventurous epic journey, an incessant ‘give-and-take’ of peoples and cultures in the East and West. At every place along the way there are touching human stories told, stories of Greek refugees and migrants uprooted from various lands, who travelled in every direction. The focal point is always the major virtuosi, instrument players and singers who left their marks on the musical tradition of the Greeks, with songs that are all time favourites but, also, with several ‘jewels’ worth discovering…!
A selection of representative songs combined with stories-narratives, where a special role is played by some outstanding figures of refugee singers and musicians.
