Trio • Taratsa (Greece)🇬🇷 // Balkan Guitart Festival🎸 - Jazz Club „В Джазa"

Trio Taratsa was established in 2023 in Thessaloniki, bringing together its members' diverse musical backgrounds with a shared desire to explore and express themselves through rebetiko music. The group consists of Nikonas Spiliotakis on bouzouki and vocals, Philopoimen Doulis on bouzouki, guitar, and vocals, and Stavroula Naki on guitar and vocals. Their repertoire spans the broader spectrum of the rebetiko tradition, from its early roots in the pre-war Café Aman scene in Smyrna and Istanbul, to the virtuosic music of the great orchestras of Vasilis Tsitsanis and Manolis Chiotis, that flourished in the major urban centers of post-war Greece.

They have performed on a wide range of music stages across Greece, particularly in Thessaloniki, Athens, Crete, and Ioannina. Through both group and individual collaborations with numerous musicians of their genre, they remain consistently active at the forefront of the Greek rebetiko music scene.
