Taximi

The music of Greece has provided the inspiration for Stockholm, Sweden-based octet Taximi. Performing on traditional Greek tools, like the bouzouki, baglamas (little bouzouki), toumperlekin (little drum), and finger cymbals, the group studies the full spectral range of Hellenic music including rebetika (like tracks), smymeika (through the Smyrna area), Dimotika (nation tracks), Nisiotika (isle tracks), and laika (metropolitan music). In 1997, Taximi performed in the Herodian Theatre at the bottom from the Acropolis in Athens, Greece.
