Greek Roots Night in Camden

The all-female combo that pushes the boundaries of World Music with Greek music at its core. An amazing line up of talent.

Greek Roots Revisited
Katerina, Muzmee, Paressa, Olympia and Duygu met in the lively Rebetiko music scene in London. The diversity of their musical backgrounds – from Classical to Latin American, from Byzantine Chant to Ska, from Turkish rhythms to Russian Polyphony - means they have an intoxicating range of colours and flavours to draw upon. What unites them in spirit is their love for Greek music and all the traditions and historical worlds it touches, from the Balkans to the Greek Islands, from the Black Sea to the mountains of Epirus.

As the only all female band with a Greek repertoire, PAKAW! turn heads before they play a note! PAKAW!’s performances radiate a unique energy, always capturing their vibrant audience, be it in London or the beautiful island of Mytilene. They have played in a range of venues all over London including the National Theatre, St Ethelburga's and the Arts Depot and have participated in the SOAS World Music festival amongst others. They have toured to Istanbul and Athens with plans for Germany and Cyprus next! The group regularly invites guest musicians to join, adding excitement to the mix.

This night is guaranteed to get you dancing away on the dance floor! An amazing atmosphere in a brilliant music venue!
