Dimitris Mpasis & Yiota Negka

The immigrant’s song

Representing a major chapter in the history of Greek song, immigration and uprooting have inspired folk songs as well as songwriters of the rebetiko, laiko and entechno traditions. It is from this rich and bitter repertoire that Dimitris Mpasis and Giota Negka, two exceptional and celebrated singers, draw their material. In an age which is redefining the meaning of ‘foreigner’ and ‘immigrant’, their performance revisits a century of uprooting through great songs by Greek songwriters.
