Haroula Tsalpara

Direct from Greece Haroula Tsalpara will perform a selection of popular classics from the early twentieth-century from Greece and Asia Minor.

She works as a freelance singer and musician (baglamas, accordion, piano) and plays at festivals throughout Europe through to taverns, cafes, bars, restaurants and major traditional events in Greece as well as having been featured on Greek national television.

She is part of the new generation of emerging talent from Greece that breathes new life into old songs all the while staying true to the form of rebetika and Smyrneika. Haroula has a strong improvisational disposition, that can take you from melancholia to exaltation in one breath.

Joining her on stage will be Kostas Papapanagiotou , Jenny Dixon, Niko Papadimitriou & Con Kalamaras
