about

A nostalgic song about the immigration wave in Greece after the Greco-Turkish war (1919-1922) and the Asia Minor Disaster.

A mandolin hanged on the wall shares its story of the era when immigrant Greeks from Asia Minor and other parts of Turkey, felt like they didn't belong in their own "main" country.

The song is also about today and the new immigrant waves in Greece

about

Bam Band Athens, Greece

Music could never be “captured”, could never stay still or be discovered once and for all. So “Bam” it hit them…

Three friends from Athens - Greece got together driven by their experimental mood.

Recovering precious traditional tunes from the middle war era and covering them in a fresh and playful way.

Rebetika songs, Mediterranean tunes...

Mixing and matching the past with today.
