Jannis Karis and Kostas Tsapakidis have been playing music together for more than forty years. They have performed on several performing stages and festivals in Germany, France, Hungary, Czech Republic, Greece, Austria, Switzerland and Turkey.

In the year 1990 they invited the grandseigneur of Rembetiko, Michalis Genitsaris, to Germany. Together they sucessfully played ten concerts, one of them in the “Alte Oper” in Frankfurt. During these concerts the live record „Saltadoros“ was produced.

In 1993 they were on a tour in Turkey together with the musician Hasret Gültekin.

After returning, they recorded their LP „Salto orienntale“ as „Prosechos“ in collaboration with Stefan Hantel alias Shantel, who was a member of the group at that time.

At the concert at the Mainweltmusikfestival they will play Rembetiko and songs of famous composers like Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hatzidakis, Stavros Xarhakos and others. They will be accompanied by two virtuosos, Dimitris Petridis on accordion and Ahmed Hattach on percussion.
