A versatile and gifted singer, songwriter and composer, Semeli Papavasileiou effortlessly spans the worlds of rebetika, Greek folk to original compositions even dabbling in hip hop. Her velvet voice and solid guitar work never fail to captivate. Semeli, joined by Alexandros Kentris on bouzouki and Glafkos Smarianakis on violin and vocals make up the Meraki Trio, a rebetiko outfit who write their own compositions that are inspired by the music of Smyrne and Piraeus.
Eisvoleas is a veteran of the Greek hip hop scene, based in Galatsi Athens. His hip-hop flirts with traditional sounds of Greece and the Balkans and is worthy of recognition beyond the Greek border. Semeli’s collaborations with Eisvoleas underpin a reimagining of Greek culture that connects the past to the NOW.
