In the organizer's words:

The band Gidiki combines traditional Greek music with contemporary influences. Founded in Thessaloniki in 2015, the ensemble has been touring Greece and Europe ever since and has already released three albums. Gidiki loves improvisations in which the identity and sound of Greek instruments merge with the diverse musical backgrounds of the band members. The result: a musical fusion of tradition and modern sounds. Every live performance becomes a rousing experiment of traditional rhythms, urban sounds and spontaneous energy. Band and audience enter into a dynamic exchange. Gidiki's energy is infectious: just let go and enjoy the moment. This evening will be a party!

Tasos Kofodimos - lute, vocals
