Ortakides – Cretan Night

Ortakides are inviting you to a Cretan “parea” (gathering) at Music and Beans Shoreditch to explore the sounds of Crete, sing along, and dance! From seated folk songs of the urban centers of Crete, to traditional melodies and dance rhythms that characterize the celebratory feasts of the rural Cretan sea-side and mountain regions, we have picked a programme which speaks to our soul. Musicians Christos Angelidakis: Cretan lyra, vocals George Angelopoulos: Mandolin, lavta, vocals Simon Mercouris: Cretan laouto, vocals Miltos Boumis: Cretan laouto, vocals
