Cafe Aman - Aman Rebetiko, Yiannis Dionysiou

Wednesday 12 June 2024, Limassol Municipal Theatre - Marios Tokas

The musical ensemble Aman Rebetiko continues its highly successful performances.

This time, they are coming to Cyprus for a show in Lemesos, hosting one of the younger exponents of Café Aman music, the talented Yiannis Dionysiou from Cyprus. Alongside them are two more Cypriot musician with a significant presence in the musical events of the Mediterranean, the violinist Michalis Kouloumis and the oud player Andreas Andreou.

Together, they will take us on a journey with the beauty of their instruments and enchanting voices, exploring the magical sounds of Rebetiko melodies. These melodies originated in the Café Aman, the pre-war Greek cafes of the major urban centers of Asia Minor, especially Istanbul and Smyrna, where singers and musicians improvised in free rhythm.

In these Café Aman, the intense musical tradition of the Anatolians was born, which, after 1922, moved to the other side of the Aegean, mainly to the port of Piraeus, giving

rise to the movement of Rebetiko songs that are still passionately sung by younger Greeks and Cypriots today.
