Rebetiko Band

Accordion master Muammer Ketencoğlu, who has made significant contributions as a collector and researcher illuminating the music of our region through his important work in Rebetiko, Balkan music, and Western Anatolian folk songs, joins the stage with Agora Minör, a group that researches and performs Rebetiko while bringing the region’s multilingualism and multiculturalism into their music.

This collaboration offers a rich musical experience featuring the masterful tones of the accordion alongside an orchestra consisting of bouzouki, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, baglamadaki, and vocals — sharing a message of social peace and coexistence with the audience.

Agora Minör, which has closely followed Muammer Ketencoğlu’s contributions to music in Turkey since the early days of Rebetiko’s establishment, came together for the first time on July 1, 2023, delivering an enjoyable concert filled with stories and dance. They continue to collaborate with the aim of bringing this concert to new venues and diverse audiences.
