You don’t need an education in ancient Greek or Latin or an evening course in modern Greek to enjoy the expressive vocals and the emotional layers in the songs performed by the relatively young group ‘KOMPANÍA’. 
Just as fado is connected with Portugal, so rebétika as a form of music is closely intertwined with the bluesy Greek music that spread two centuries ago from Piraeus harbour, mainly through the circuit of café’s frequented by refugees. The five-piece group KOMPANÍA enjoys playing this originally underground music.
