Rebetiko is a Greek underground music genre that started in the beginning of the nineteenth century. While playing the musicians take much freedom in the introductions, improvisations ( 'taximi's') and singing, which goes with the free and rather wild character of this music. Bouzouki, baglamas (mini-bouzouki), and guitar are the prevailing instruments. Vinylio and Takis Mendis are established names in the rebetiko scene. Skafari is a new group that presents rebetiko songs translated in Dutch, called 'Nederbetika'. The musicians Maria Spyroglou, Giannis Sarris, Hristos Sarantidis, Takis Mendis, Dimi Dumo, Karsten de Vilder, Frans De Clercq
