SXSW: My Sweet Canary Ensemble - Rambi @ Θεσσαλονίκη 2012

The US premier of the tribute to the Greek Jewish vocalist Rosa Eskenazi, the premiere diva of Rebetiko—the Greek blues—marking the thirtieth anniversary of her death and the release of the feature musical Documentary film- ‘My Sweet Canary’ for screening in world wide. Eskenazi’s songs will be performed by three vocalists: Yiota Negka from Greece, Mehtap Demir from Turkey and
Mor Karbasi from Israel. The performance comes to SXSW as part of an international tour and is based upon the film \‘My Sweet Canary\’, a musical biography of the life of Eskenazi in which some of the finest artists of Greece, Turkey and Israel meet to perform pearls from Eskenazi’s rich musical repertoire, selected from among the hundreds of songs in Greek, Turkish and Ladino that she recorded during the course of her career. The performance was first presented in Thessaloniki and portions of it are captured in the film.
