Christmas Karkashialiki

The festive events are going on until the very last day of the year. Adding a different note to the Christmas activities, is an evening of Rembetika songs in a romantic, nostalgic and at the same time festive atmosphere in Paphos.

Savvas Chrysostomou and Polis Ioannidis with their guitars and voices, Andreas Krabias with his bouzouki, and Andreas Nicolaou with his baglamas, promise a fun evening with the well-known music of Vamvakaris, Tsitsanis and other masters of the genre. After their first appearance at Technopolis 20 garden in the summer, the band left the best impressions and returns for a second time in a merrier atmosphere.

The musicians wearing their waistcoats and their berets hope to take their audience on a journey to the past and awaken memories and feelings with timeless rembetika songs of pain, happiness, separation and more a few days before the arrival of the New Year.

If you are a fan of rembetika songs or simply want a change of atmosphere from the overload of Christmas melodies, try this event out. Reservations are necessary.
