Trio Tekke - Ta Reggetika

Trio Tekke�s debut album. In three years since its release it has become a classic amongst rempetiko (urban Greek folk) fans consisting of originals and re-arrangements of classic songs.A self-released album that captures the essence of the Greek rempetiko songs from the 1920�s and 30�s, but with a twist. The trio rearranges the old classics, blending flavours of reggae and latin grooves with the original melodies, and adding double bass to a musical environment where it never existed before. The sound is totally acoustic and raw, and having been recorded live, weighing heavily on the vibe, and disregarding imperfections in the playing.�Ta Reggetika� consists of mostly very well known rempetiko songs, (at least to the fans of the genre), alongside original compositions, mainly by Antonis Antoniou, that sit perfectly together. This is a set of songs that was performed time and time again in basement venues in all over London where the band was based at the time, and the album as a whole is a diary of Trio Tekke�s early performing days.
