In the vibrant city of Melbourne, Australia, known for its thriving Greek diaspora community, the impact of rebetiko and Smyrneika is profound. With one of the largest Greek populations outside of Greece, Melbourne pulses with the rhythms of Greek music, dance, and traditions. For Estudiantina of Melbourne, their music is more than a performance; it is a bridge connecting generations, cultures, and communities. It allows the diaspora to rediscover their roots, share their stories, and celebrate their heritage with pride.
