“A Night in Athens” – Nick Trivelas & The
Aegeans
The latest collaboration between Nick Travelas and George Antonopoulos,
a bouzouki virtuoso & entertainer extraordinaire. George
is from Pireas Greece and has performed through-out Europe, Canada,
the USA & parts of Central America (aka "the Greek Elvis" in
the Midwest). Coming from a family of talented musicians, George
performed as a bouzouksis with Holiday In Greece, Makis Christodoulopoulos,
and in many of the clubs in Montreal, Chicago, Detroit, New York & Los
Angeles.
The result of this collaboration is a trio called "A Night In
Athens" show-casing the raw high energy talent of George Antonopoulos
that mesmerizes audiences from the first note to the last. The music
is as authentic and gutsy. The atmosphere is charged. George's exhilaration
is infectious. Joanna adds her voice to George's and Nick's rounding
out the trio, as they perform the current Tsiftetelia, Zebekika, and
Syrta; the well known Dimotika, (Kalamatiana, Tsamika, Nisiotika);
and Rebetica. |
