Travel with us into the world of Greek sounds
A journey through Greek music history awaits you. We fly over the Greek rhythms, dance Sirtaki (which isn’t actually called that) and sing with Eastern sounds.
We will take you on a week-long journey into our world in southern Pelion, into the world of rhythm and rembetiko:
You learn:
To sing greek songs
Why 90% of all Greek songs are in a minor key
What is the background of eastern sounds
How the Rembetiko came about
Why Sirtaki doesn’t even exist
The 4 most important dances that will get you ready for every Greek festival
And the most important thing about rhythm and rembetiko:
Your soul flies with us into the freedom of the Greek mentality. She experiences the sweetness of melancholic music and immerses herself in a world where there are no time limits. No train timetables, no expectations and where performance is a foreign word.
South Pelion is one of the few places in Greece that has remained rustic and mass tourism has not yet taken hold. People here have time to talk and cook. In Greek mythology, it was the place where the Greek gods vacationed and where the centaurs chased after beautiful young girls.
Why this retreat?
Our workshop is a balanced mix of music, rhythm, history, dance and magic.
Let yourself be enchanted for a week and relax your body, mind and soul.
