Between tradition and contemporary aesthetics, Sousta Politiki forcefully and uniquely revisits therepertoire of Smyrneiko (Greek rebetiko from Asia Minor) and the songs of Istanbul, adding their owncompositions.Formed in Strasbourg in 2016, Sousta Politiki is a Franco-Turkish music group that draws inspiration from variousurban and marginalized music genres of Greece and Turkey. The repertoire they explore is diverse, includingSmyrneiko from Asia Minor, Kanto from Istanbul, rebetiko from Athens or Piraeus, and traditional songs fromThrace. However, they all share a common connection to the post-Ottoman traditions of the early 20th century.These songs primarily consist of vocals, and their themes often touch upon of daily life such as alcohol, drugs,prison, and prostitution.The songs are approached with a sense of irony and celebration. One can find both joy and melancholy, as inArgentine tango or American blues. The five members of Sousta Politiki come from diverse musical backgrounds,including rock, Ottoman music, opera singing, rebetiko, and improvised music. The process of creation andreinterpretation knows no limits, and the unique instrumentation of the group (cello, Ottoman tanbur, accordion,bouzouki, percussion, and vocals) allows for surprising and unprecedented rearrangements.
