Yannis Dionisiou, ‘Tribute a Antonis Dalgas’

The Cypriot Yannis Dionisiou (Nicosia, 1990) has been confirmed in recent years as the great interpreter of current Greek and Cypriot popular song. Very especially in the reinterpretation that he makes of the great authors of the golden age of rebetiko, the popular music born in the marginal areas of Athens and Thessaloniki as a result of the emigration caused by the expulsion of the Greeks from Ionia (Turkey) at the beginning of the 20th century.

The songs of myths such as Kaharias Kasimatis, Tetos Dimitradis or the immortal Antonis Dalgas recover a renewed relevance in the voice of Yannis Dionisiou, in a concert to delve into the Greek soul, in the seedy taverns of Piraeus.
