“Sala Sala” focuses on the 20th-century music history written by two important figures on the “rembetiko” scene: Sotiria Bellou (1921-1997) and Marika Papagika (1890-1943), two “grandes dames” of Greek music and two unique musical personalities whose voices left their mark on K. BHTA. Following on from a year’s research into “rembetiko” and the careers of two of its greatest exponents, K. BHTA joined forces with Andreas Angelidakis and Angelo Plessas to create a new reading of “rembetiko”. A surprising musical encounter awash with the timbres and memories of the first music in K. BHTA’s life—the music he was exposed to in the family home.
