“Ανυπότακτες Φωνές” (Untamed Voices)

Elsa Mouratidou & Taxim Trio

From the early 20th century to the post-war years, women shaped rebetiko with fearless, raw, and
uncompromising voices. This concert traces songs by legendary female singers—such as Marika
Papagika, Rita Abatzi, Angela Papazoglou, Marika Ninou, Ioanna Georgakopoulou, Mary Linda,
and Sotiria Bellou—while also exploring the rebel woman as portrayed in rebetiko, even in songs
sung by men. Moving between tenderness and defiance, Elsa Mouratidou & Taxim Trio bring these
untamed voices to life, revealing the woman of rebetiko not as a muse, but as a force—singing her
truth against the grain of her time.
