KADINELIA W/ ANAKATE DOUNIA LIVE

KADINELIA w/ ANAKATE DOUNIA

How do drum and bass meet Epirus, Ghana meet Crete, and contemporary creation meet tradition? These and many other pressing questions will find their answers on 4 December, in an evening filled with joy, free expression and improvisation, featuring two acts: Kadinelia, who have established one of the most distinctive sounds on the Greek music scene, and Anakate Dounia, a fresh musical proposition that is as playful as it is exhilarating.

KADINELIA

From Greece to the world, Kadinelia bring together an explosive blend of folk and psychedelia, fragility and raw energy. Having released their new album in March 2026 and just returned from the Canary Islands, where they took part in WOMEX, they are back in Athens brimming with inspiration. Currently in a particularly creative period, they arrive with new songs in their repertoire, an expanded sonic landscape and a stronger musical bond than ever.
With two handcrafted acoustic guitars, driving rhythmic patterns and exotic vocals, Kadinelia continue to explore the boundaries between Greek musical tradition and contemporary expression. Their compositions bring together blues and kalamatianos, reggae and zonaradikos, Nina Simone and tsampouna, creating a sound deeply rooted in Greek musical heritage while remaining restless and constantly evolving.

ANAKATE DOUNIA

Anakate Dounia is the result of a musical and human encounter between three musicians with diverse musical backgrounds.
