June 2012. It’s been forty years since the death of the rembetika legend, the patriarch of rembetiko song, Markos Vamvakaris (1905-1972). His immortal songs will fill the Herodion intact, as poignant, magical and full of suffering as the life of the man who penned them. Songs which speak from and to the heart, and turn life’s trials and tribulations into medals worn with pride.
