REMBETIKA SONGS & DANCES - Online from Ayia Napa - 31 May

Cyprus Mail 28 May 2020 - by Eleni Philippou


Rembetika songs and dances will fill the outdoor park that overlooks the Ayia Napa coastline on Sunday in a show to broadcast online.
Following DJ Dona Costa’s successful event at the Sea Caves nearby, the town’s municipality is putting together another event with the help of music and dance groups. Between 6.30 and 8pm, the music ensemble Oi Mikri Rembetes and the Cultural Association Rhythm will perform at the park and the event will be streamed live online.
Despite the opening of bars, cafés and restaurants around the island, the realisation of events at this stage is still difficult given the continuing measures.

Music and dances from the Greek rembetiko genre will make up this event’s agenda and it is an occasion, which aims to spread the message that culture continues to exist and be part of our lives and with the help of technology is even closer.
The event also aims to highlight the park, a cultural reference point of Ayia Napa and homes to spectacular sunset views. The Facebook page of Ayia Napa Municipality will live stream the event for audiences to enjoy as will City Channel Live.
