Trio Tekke

Τhe acclaimed Neo-Rebetiko group Trio Tekke makes a comeback with a strong new release. 'Zivo'* is the title of the band's third album, which initiates their collaboration with London-based Anglo-Italian drummer Dave De Rose. This album marks a departure from the purely acoustic sound of their previous two records and it’s their first to consist of exclusively original compositions. The band’s sound is enhanced by electric guitar, electric bass, effected tzouras, drums, percussion and some electronics, creating a genre-hopping cocktail of Greek Rebetiko-style tunes infused with Afrobeat, Cumbia, Acid Rock, Psychedelia and Jazz. The 13 tracks of the album produce a fresh sonic, stylistic and aesthetic outcome, which strengthens the band’s performance dynamic and makes it approachable for even more diverse audiences. They will present the album as well as older material from their albums 'a reggetika' and 'Samas', which has been reworked with the new setup.
