DescriptionIfigenia Ioannou is a professional singer and kanun player with years of experience on many music scenes in Greece and abroad.
She collaborates with many artists, including Dimitris Mystakidis, Manolis Lydakis, Babis Tsertos, Kyriakos Gouvendas and Nikos Tatasopoulos.
Dimitris Lappas is a virtuoso guitarist, having over 4.500 collaborations on live concerts, radio and television all over the world as a composer, musician, producer and arranger.
He has collaborated with singers as George Dalaras, Eleni Vitali, Haris Alexiou, Eleftheria Arvanitaki, Dionysis Savvopoulos, Orfeas Peridis, Pantelis Thalassinos, Vasilis Lekkas and many others.
Ifigeneia and Dimitris choose and play songs composed at the beginning of the 20th century, mostly unknown masterpieces of the Smyrna repertoire, but also from the whole spectrum of rebetiko and folk music.
“We are inspired by the melodic and rhythmic dynamics, as well as the simple and straight lyrics of the repertoire. In addition, improvisation is an important and interesting feature of this music, consisting of a supreme form of musical expression in the past, challenging the present with the use of contemporary instruments and aesthetics”.
They both emphasize propulsive rhythm (groove), combining elements of acid funk, soul funk, James Brown and jazz influents with the ingredients of Chiotis and Tsitsanis, who were influenced by Django Reinhardt and other European musicians.
