Concert – "Grikanta" Music of Southern Italy
Description :
Grikanta brings to the “Victoria G. Karelia” Collection the special musical atmosphere of the Greek-speaking Italian south in a concert on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. The power of the tarantella pizzica rhythm meets the fresh performances of Grikanta in a unique musical experience. The six-member musical group from Thessaloniki, which has been present on the music scene in Greece and abroad for 10 years, presents a program with traditional songs from the Greek-speaking villages of Southern Italy, many written in the local dialect (griko), which sometimes convey stories from the life, love, and pain of the locals and sometimes drag us into their intense dance rhythms.

Maria Karamouza: Vocals, tambourine

Organizers :
The Victoria G. Karelias Collection of greek traditional costumes was created, initially as a private collection, by the founding member and long-standing president of the Lyceum Club of Greek Women of Kalamata, V. Karelias. The fruit of 50 years of dedicated effort, it was bestowed on the Lyceum, to be henceforth curated by an institution widely recognised for its contribution to the preservation and promotion of Greek tradition. Ever since, as a token of gratitude and based on a unanimous decision of the Administrative Board of the Lyceum, it has born the name of the collector.
The Collection hosts, among other things, periodic exhibitions of important Greek artists that, in contrast to the permanent exhibits, prove that tradition is not a sealed space but a living organism that constantly and diversely interacts with its wider environment and is rediscovered over and over again over the course of time.
