REM♭ETIX - Music from Berlin

REM♭ETIX is a new Berlin-based formation rooted in rebetiko. Born out of friendship with Anonimi, we bring the warmth of Greece to cool Berlin with vocals, bouzouki, guitar and accordion.

Music that builds bridges between homeland and adopted home. Inspired by the sounds of Greece, shaped in Berlin, united by friendship and passion. Despina, Leonidas and Odysseas, still connected from Anonimi, joined by Dinos and Sanne, as well as changing musicians who bring something new to every performance. Together we live music – not as a job, but as daily joy, as breath, as community. Our melodies tell stories: longing and warmth, joy and melancholy, rhythm and silence. Tradition meets innovation – with acoustics, with feeling, with heart. At the center is Greek Rebetiko: music of longing, defiance and everyday life, born in the harbors of the 1930s, now brought to new life in Berlin.
