Our supporters in this action is, as always, the Folklore Museum “Manos and Anastasia Faltaits” and the PE.A.P of Skyros municipality as well as the Skyros Shipping Co (SNE) which welcome us in their hospitable places and we all enjoy the beautiful journey of our rebetiko music.

The seminar-meeting, together with the parallel and open to the public events is an institution, which exceeds the limits of the Greek territory.

Its range reaches Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, Turkey, Cyprus, Finland, England, France, Netherlands, Israel, etc. Moreover, the seminar preserves and promotes the value of the rebetiko song as one of the main diachronic components of our urban civilization. Its timeless value brings new data to our music, contributing to the creative abilities and improvement of new musicians and their musical expression especially after the recognition and registration of Rebetiko in the UNESCO List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Together with our friends, we continue our musical journey, in spite of the wild times having compass our love for folk song and the famous and anonymous contributors, who helped for the establishment of this popular music.

The voluntary effort of our team is based on our love for musical tradition, which enriches us with enthusiasm, passion and power to overcome many daily difficulties.
