Ta mortakia
"The band was truly amazing.
Themis, Magdalena and Antonia were very kind and professional.
We had a wonderful evening and will surely invite them to our next event!"
Golden "Opa" Band
"There’s something beautifully unpolished about Golden OPA Band. Not messy—human. Their sound has this lived‑in warmth, like stories passed down over wine and late nights. You don’t just hear them; you feel the room shift around them."
Amado duet
"We had the absolute pleasure of having Amado Duet (violin and cello) perform in our home, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment they began playing, we felt transported to a Baroque-like era—the music was breathtaking, elegant, and soul-stirring. Their setup and choice of pieces were impeccable, and their sheer talent left us in awe.
What impressed me even more was their flexibility: despite booking them last minute and requesting a piece outside their repertoire, they delivered it beautifully without hesitation. Beyond their extraordinary musicianship, they are also truly lovely people—warm, professional, and a joy to have around.
We cannot wait to invite them back again. Highly, highly recommended!"
Family Ties
"Many thanks for all the Support, Sound system and communication Mr Apostolos owner and dirrector of ''The Cult Caffe''. See you soon again..."
Maria Ploumi
"Maria Ploumi is an exceptional laouto player and singer, seamlessly blending traditional Greek music with contemporary influences. Her recent performance with Chrysoula K. & Púrpura was a masterclass in musicality and emotion. With her expressive laouto playing and warm vocals, Ploumi added depth and texture to a diverse repertoire spanning Greece, Argentina, Portugal, Armenia, and Italy.
The band’s unique instrumentation—kanun, flute, cello, and laouto—created a rich, immersive soundscape, with Ploumi’s precision and artistry standing out as a highlight. Her synergy with lead singer Chrysoula Kechagioglou and the rest of the ensemble was remarkable, delivering a performance that was both technically impressive and deeply moving.
Maria Ploumi’s ability to bridge musical traditions makes her a standout artist in today’s world music scene. Whether leading with her laouto or harmonizing in song, she brings an authenticity and passion that captivates audiences."
Marianna Louma
"I had the pleasure of hiring Marianna for an event, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Her voice is absolutely stunning, and she created such a warm and magical atmosphere throughout the night. She was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. All of our guests were impressed and kept asking about her afterwards. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing live performance, and I would love to book her again in the future!"
