γάβ

Introducing the newly formed 5-member γάβ the band: a jazz bassist - owner of a traditional Cypriot coffee shop, a Polish trumpeter with a background in Drama Studies, a guitarist specialising in Social Anthropology of Sound, a percussionist who has been playing in skyladika stages (*dog clubs) across Greece and Cyprus since his teenage years, as well as an upcoming singer marking a stunning career success in night clubs across Limassol, establish a new music genre: “psychoskyladiko”. While preserving the original structure of the skyladiko music genre, they add a sound quality to their own compositions that juggles between surf/ska/reggae.

(*music initially introduced in the ‘70s and performed in the outskirts of big Greek cities in decadent clubs known as “dog clubs”).
