On Sunday, November 22, 2026, the Hamburg music duo FRAXION REBETIKA will perform at DenkBar in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel at 6:00 pm. The evening centers on rebetiko, a traditional form of Greek folk and urban music whose history is closely linked to the cultural influences of Asia Minor.Mathios Samsamakis (guitar and vocals) and Ilias Mertzanidis (bouzouki and vocals) perform the classic repertoire of this musical tradition. Both musicians have family roots in Asia Minor and have long been immersed in Greek musical culture.Rebetiko emerged particularly in Greece’s urban communities during the first half of the 20th century. Its songs tell of love, longing, social outsiders, and the experiences of everyday life. Since 2017, rebetiko has been part of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.With their concert at DenkBar, FRAXION REBETIKA offer a glimpse into this musical heritage. They will perform selected pieces from the traditional repertoire, accompanied by bouzouki, guitar, and vocals.Sunday, November 22, 2026, 6:00 pmDenkBar Café, Fruchtallee 114, 20259 HamburgAdmission free
