Greek Laika Celebration with Costas Karafotis

Arrangements, music direction, and conducting: Tom Cohen
Special guest: Arti Katima

One of the most sturdy and exciting cultural connections in the Mediterranean basin has developed over the years between Greek music and the Israeli audience, and we are glad to write another chapter in this beautiful creative collaboration. 

The orchestra is delighted to host Kostas Karafotis, one of the great singers of Laika music in Greece, whose songs have been adapted into Hebrew and become hits (including "Dreaming of You" by Eyal Golan and "Princess" by Omer Adam). 

Joining Karafotis in the performance of beloved Zeibekiko classics and ballads are two additional talents from Greece – Manolis Karantinis, the greatest bouzouki player of our time, and Arti Katima, one of modern Laika's rising and prominent stars.
