Greek Rebetiko Ensemble Prosechós to Perform in Niederanven

The Luxembourg Folk Club (Folk-Clupp Lëtzebuerg Asbl) and Mitos, a non-profit cultural organisation that develops and promotes cultural relations between Greece and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, have announced a concert by Prosechós, entitled "Rebetiko of the Diaspora", taking place on Saturday 24 October 2026 at 20:00 at the Centre Polyvalent A Schommesch in Niederanven.

According to the organisers, founded in Frankfurt in the early 1980s, the Prosechós ensemble is considered the first Rebetiko group in Germany and is today regarded as one of the most important representatives of this musical style in Europe. For more than four decades, Prosechós has been dedicated to preserving and passing on Rebetiko, the Greek urban music often described as the “Greek blues”, which explores themes such as nostalgia, exile, freedom and the joy of life.

Led by singer and bouzouki player Yannis Karis, the only founding member still performing with the group, the ensemble combines the musical traditions of Piraeus and Smyrna with an authentic sound and an international line-up.

The ensemble consists of Jannis Karis (bouzouki, vocals), Thalia Karyda (vocals), René Orfanidis (guitar, vocals), Kyriakos Sfatkidis (bass) and Ahmed Hattach (percussion, vocals).

Tickets cost €25 in advance or €30 at the door. Tickets for children aged five to seventeen cost €15, while younger children can enter for free.
