‘Rembetika Hipsters’ Bringing A Bit Of Greece To Vermilion
Angela Mouly
Greek society didn’t want to promote their lowly Rebetiko musicians throughout the ages, but gradually, it has been promoted by use in movies and supported by listeners around the world. Authentic Greek melodies accompanied a mix of Middle Eastern melodies allow this music to break through violent culture clashes, religious, political, and personal struggles. The Rembetika Hipsters have grown to include seven members who are all singers and instrumentalists.

The Vermilion Folk Club will be hosting the show at the Vermilion Legion at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20, and to purchase, you can The Rembetika Hipsters including Nick Diochnos, Allen Baekeland, Jonathan Lewis and, Giorgos Iosifelis, Lincoln Frey, Jon May, and Racheal Cogan. Photo supplied call Rita Barr at 780-853-5275.
