Live! : rebétika - smyrneïka from Athens

"Kompania's "Rebétika - Smyrneïka From Athens" brings me back to the koutouki atmosphere, an underground, cramped den with rebetika music, meze, retsina and great company ... The band - that's what Kompanía means - and the characteristic depth of Katerina Tsiridou's voice (...) creates a truly vintage style rembetika album ... All five musicians on board follow the same direction and they are simply brilliant at what they do. Their musicianship, harmony and synchronisation are flawless and cool, and Kompanía sticks to the traditional and original version of these songs ... This album is a lovely introduction to the best known rebetika songs".
