Greek/Brazilian Londoner, Pavlos Carvalho provided an excellent live session of music on this A World In London, bringing his Rebet Asker series to the show. Classic songs rooted in rebetiko from Greece to warm up a wintry London day were performed by superb vocalist Vicky Anastasiou, guitarist Pavlos Melas, bouzouki player Spiros Mpolovinis, and Stelios Katsatsidis on accordion. Catch them live every 1st & 3rd Sunday at Camden’s Green Note. Or at the ‘rebetiko jam’ on Monday evenings at SOAS!
