Gidiki is a musical ensemble that began playing and experimenting with Greek traditional music in 2014. From then on, they got to perform at all the festivals and venues in Thessaloniki, before moving to Athens and taking their final form. This meant their breakthrough, as it allowed the band to expand its audience and gain broader recognition. Last year, Gidiki blew us away with a magnificent show at GROUNDS and now they are coming back to smoothly repeat that great night!

A fundamental element of the band is the inclination for improvisation, which arises from the different musical influences of its members. Each live performance serves as an opportunity for experimentation with traditional musical forms and rhythms, as well as for establishing a dynamic relationship with the audience, creating the conditions for a contemporary “urban celebration.” Thus, the sound that emerges is constantly shaped and evolving while maintaining the identity and sounds of traditional instruments.

In 2023, the band released its first album titled “AHOY.” Gidiki has performed at major festivals in Greece and has undertaken several tours in foreign countries such as Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and more.
