With superb vocals and first class instumental playing, ARIA Award winners for Best World Music Album, The haBiBis play intoxicating music from Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean in the ‘down under’ style. Plaintive bouzouki based Rebetika (the 'Greek blues') rhythmic folk tunes, and contemporary ballads are sure to move the body as well as the heart.

They are regulars on the major folk and world music festivals circuit around Australia including Woodford, Fairbridge and the National Folk Festival.

“The haBiBis weave the guitar, lute and bouzouki with consummate ease, in wide chiming choruses and intricate dances over which….voices cast seductive spells” - Rolling Stone.

"Music that can move a listener of whatever ancestry" Doug Spencer - ABC The Planet

"Sotiris Traianopoulos' clarinet added biting authenticity to the Balkan folk tunes, while the stringed instruments (bouzouki, baglama, lute and guitar) played by Yiangoulli, Irine Vela and Mulaim Vela lilted and danced with alluringly asymmetrical rhythms'. Jessica Nicholas - The Age
