Rebetiko refers to the fusion of West and East, Greece and Asia Minor, in music. However, to General Metaxas, it is only a reminder of the Turkish influence on his country. The ruthless Greek dictator is determined to crack down on
rebetis and their way of life. A small group of friends, Rebetiko musicians all, wind their way through the Athenian backstreets, ouzeris, and market squares, dodging the police while settling disputes over hashish and women. With music at its heart, this graphic novel portrays a day in the life of the Rebetiko musicians in Athens in 1936.
