Sousourada (live)

Curated by Susanna Pavlidis

HANE Salon, a new series of live concerts, listening sessions, and culinary interventions that take place in the cozy foyer of SİNEMA TRANSTOPIA, warmly invites you to an evening with Sousourada. A four-piece band based in Berlin, Sousourada plays Greek rebetiko and laïko—the urban folk music of Greece that tells stories of love, heartbreak, migration, late nights, and everyday life. These songs were first played in small tavernas and smoky rooms, where people would eat, drink, chat, dance, or simply come together.

While the band plays, guests are welcome to enjoy our delicious meze plates which will be available from the bar throughout the evening. Made with love in-house, we invite you to break bread over a shared love of music, conversation, and food.

Limited tickets available, book in advance to avoid disappointment!

Sousourada is Maritina (vocals), Mímis Sandalis (double bass), Nikos Giolas (bouzouki + vocals), and Thanos Sakellaridis (guitar + vocals).
