Melbourne’s own Estudiantina of Melbourne returns to the stage on July 25 with Songs of the Soul, a tribute concert honouring two iconic figures in Greek urban music: Rita Abadzi and Kostas Roukounas.
Celebrating the rich storytelling traditions of early 20th-century Greek music, the ensemble will revisit the enduring works of these pioneers of laiko and rebetiko—genres deeply tied to everyday struggles, love, and migration.
The show is a featured event in our Greek Guide, where you can find full details including times, locations and booking links.
Estudiantina of Melbourne will also perform in Belgrave on August 30 for A Greek Night at Sooki.
