Greek Festival of Sydney: Women of Rebetika

Women of Rembetika is a tribute concert to the iconic divas by Australia’s own Rebetissa, Paskalia Latra. Take K.D.Langs sultry voice, add Patti Smith’s androgynous punk attitude and fuse it with the power and charisma of Janis Joplin and you get something close to Paskalia.

She’ll transport you to the Cafe Amans of Istanbul and walk you thru the back alleys of Athens serenading you with the songs of Rita Abatzi, Roza Eskenazi, Marika Papagika, Sotiria Bellou, Stella Haskil, just to name a few. Joining her is Apollonia Xylouris and Byron Triandafilides.
