About / Biography

Sourloulou Band

This music and dance ensemble was founded in 2020 as a street band, and since 2021, it has been called Sourloulou, embodying a complete celebration experience! In Greek society, "Sourloulou" used to describe a "mindless" and "immoral" woman who roams from place to place without answering to anyone.

Recontextualizing the term and combining elements from rural traditions with contemporary musical forms, Sourloulou bursts forth as an urban serenade, creating post-festival soundscapes. The bagpipe and drum take us to Thrace, the oud, req, and darabuka to the East and Asia Minor, and the clarinet to Central Greece and Thessaly. Through brass instruments, the region of Macedonia is highlighted, the double bass leads us to the northern Balkans, and the laoutokitharo (a hybrid instrument) transports us to the islands. Together, they erupt into a wild gypsy festivity! Release the Sourloulou within you, even for just one dance!
