Neo-Rebetiko group Trio Tekke has surged onto the scene in the past few years with their experimental approach to the 'Greek blues' and with their own distinctive compositions.
While retaining musical elements of the old style, and delivering with swagger and passion, they are playing with new sonorities, fusing different styles and writing from their own modern-day experiences; they are forging their own path in a music which is captivating peoples attention around the globe. Their first release Ta Reggetika (2009) has earned them an underground cult status, with its grainy sound and infectious groove. Their second album, Samas (2011), earned them a Battle of the Bands award on World Music Network and a nomination for Best Newcomer Act for the 2012 Songlines Awards.
