11th Seminar-Meeting on the rebetiko-Skyros island Greece
The 11th Seminar-meeting on the rebetiko song will take place in Skyros, from July 14 toy July 21, 2019, at the “Manos and Anastasia Faltaits” Folklore Museum.
In charge of the lessons Musician Spyros Goumas (musician) will be in charge of the lessons, while George Makris will be in charge of the seminar's administration. As always, the “Manos and Anastasia Faltaits” Folklore Museum and the PE.A.P of Skyros municipality as well as the Skyros Shipping Co (SNE), are our supporter, welcoming us in their hospitable places so that we all enjoy the beautiful journey of our rebetiko music.
The seminar-meeting, together with the parallel and open to the public events is an institution, exceeding the limits of the Greek territory, reaching Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, Turkey, Cyprus, Finland, England, France, Netherlands, Israel, etc.
Moreover, the seminar preserves and promotes the value of the rebetiko song as one of the main diachronic components of our urban civilization. Its timeless value brings new data to our music, contributing to the creative abilities and improvement of new musicians and their musical expression especially after the recognition and registration of Rebetiko in the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Together with our friends, we continue our musical journey, in spite of the wild times having as a compass our love for folk song and the famous and anonymous contributors, who helped for the establishment of this popular music.
The voluntary effort of our team is based on our love for musical tradition, which enriches us with enthusiasm, passion and power to overcome many daily difficulties.
Because of the number of the participants is limited, we’ll keep strict priority. Please contact us by phone or e-mail in order to declare your participation.
