With Nikos, Serdar and Aris after the show. Good music knows no borders! Thank you Serdar for everything you have shared with us tonight… and thanx to Hans for the great photos! See you all at Paradiso!!

Serdar Manavoglou is a true connoisseur and real admirer of Greek rempetiko music and he is behind most of the Greek music nights at Paradiso in Amsterdam.

Listen to the show here – The interview with Serdar is in English.

He is the producer of Club Pera that is bringing IMAM BAILDI to Paradiso Noord (Tolhuistuin) on March 20th, 2015.

He talked to us about everything, about his memories from East Thrace, his love for music, about music that knows no borders, about Erdogan’s Turkey and the Gezi Park movement, about Istanbul, about the IMF in Turkey and about the cultural exchange he is attempting with his events that tend to connect western Europe with all the countries at the eastern corner of Europe.
