BRATIMIA

The music group Bratimia is celebrating its anniversary and invites you to a wild feast – a performance that’s also a celebration! Songs and melodies from every corner of Greece — from Thrace and Asia Minor to the islands and Crete, Macedonia, Thessaly, and Epirus — will fill the beautiful venue of the 10th Mediterranean Radio Festival of Sitia. And of course, no celebration is complete without your friends! Esteemed guest musicians who have collaborated with Bratimia over their 10-year musical journey will join them on stage — with many, many surprises. Bratimia is also a close-knit group of musicians from Northern Greece who were raised in the spirit of traditional folk festivals and celebrations from a young age. Their deep love and passion for Greek folk music, along with years of performing together, led to the formation of a strong musical core. They travel throughout Greece and abroad, presenting the musical traditions of Greece and the Balkans — especially at events dedicated to folk music. P.S. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes — there’s no chance you won’t be dancing… come ready to move!

FOIVOS DELIVORIAS

Foivos Delivorias at the 10th Mediterranean Festival of Sitia "Map" Following a major winter tour, Foivos Delivorias once again unfolds the map of Greece, marks cities, and sets off on the journey of his summer show titled “Map”, aiming to present it from one end of the country to the other! He says: **“This summer, I’m craving travel across Greece. And music—close to people. ‘Map,’ my new concert project, is hitting the road, and I want by my side the two musicians who’ve been my trusted partners in the realm of musical exploration for the past 14 years: Kostis Christodoulou and Sotiris Ntouvas. Piano-keys, drums, and me on guitar. Just the three of us fitting into one car, sharing new songs every week, testing them out in different corners of the country. Playing the old ones—faithfully or not—diving deeper into them each time. Joining us is Yiannis Petrolias, a rare and inspired master of sound design. And Dimitris Makris, who will be capturing each stop of our journey in photos and film. So let’s go wherever the map takes us—to meet curious, beautiful souls and capture the moment through music. The goal? To light up the map with sparkling dots in Greece, Cyprus, and friendly cities abroad. Anchors aweigh!”** TEAM: Sotiris Ntouvas – Drums, Kostis Christodoulou – Keyboards, Yiannis Petrolias – Sound, Dimitris Makris – Poster artwork, photography, video Link: foidel.gr FB: Foivos Delivorias / Management & Production: PROSPERO – www.prospero.com.gr
