This year’s concert theme “Mediterranean Musical Odyssey” featuring the debut performance in New York of the multi-talented and amazing singers/musicians Eleni and Souzana Vougioukli will highlight folk, rembetika (Greek blues) and traditional songs from the Mediterranean and beyond.
We are very much thrilled that Eleni and Souzana Vougioukli will be working with AKTINA for their first ever performance in New York which will be of exceptional musical as well as of multi-cultural value.
The Kaye Playhouse of Hunter College where the concert is being hosted offers a beautiful and warm setting that will transport the audience on a very unique Musical Journey throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. Conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan on 68th Street between Park and Lexington Avenues, The Kay Playhouse is easily accessible by car, subway and other means of mass transportation.
Eleni and Souzana Vougioukli currently stand out in the Greek music scene as two exceptional singers, musicians and composers who perform traditional and folk songs from Greece and from other parts of the world in a most unique interpretation. They studied music at a very young age and went on to experiment with the possibilities of the human voice as an innate musical instrument. With specific emphasis on the original language/dialect and adherence to the appropriate pronunciation and articulation of each individual form, they sing in more than 20 languages and dialects, both a capella and/or accompanied by piano, guitar and percussion
, instruments which they play themselves. Watch them perform.
Their Greek music repertoire consists of rembetika (Greek blues) and traditional folk songs in all dialects, including that of the Greek speaking community of Southern Italy. Their international repertoire includes Portuguese fado, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian, Turkish, Arabic, Gypsy, Serb, Armenian, Sephatic, Pomak (a Slavic dialect of the Rhodopi mountain in N. Greece), Bulgarian, American blues and jazz. They also compose their own songs.
Eleni’s and Souzana’s songs stand out for their power of expression and the diachronic qualities both in terms of history and geography. Their work is based on long research which helps them discover the deeper roots of each song, as well as aspects which are not immediately apparent on the first hearing. The long lasting quality of each song, that is, Tradition, the language/dialect and the music it carries with it on its long journey over time, meets up with its modern exposition, its living present, as understood by the two artists who make their own transformations and adaptations to the sounds of the times, in their own unique interpretation.
Eleni and Souzana Vougioukli have worked with many renowned artists including Maria Farantouri and AVATON at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens, Greece, with Goran Bregovic, Thanassis Gaifyllia among many others.
