Santiago Auserón (Zaragoza, 1954) picks up the phone in Athens. He is rehearsing there with Greek musicians Vaggelis Tzeretas and Thodoris Karellas the repertoire for concerts like the one he will perform this Friday, October 23rd, at the Casino l'Aliança del Poblenou (9 PM), in Barcelona, as part of the Cruïlla Concerts. With them, he recorded the album Nerantzi (La Huella Sonora, 2025). It is Auserón's journey to the East, adapting to Spanish the shining eyes of rebetiko, one of the most unique manifestations of Greek popular music.
