Justice for Kostas Manioudakis. Rebetiko night, voku and concert with Rebet GuitarS

Monday 23 October 2023, Justice for Kostas Manioudakis. Rebetiko night, voku and concert with Rebet GuitarS. Food served from 7pm, music from 9pm, no reservation.

On Friday, September 1st, 2023, 58-year-old Kostas Manioudakis was murdered by cops on a rural road in Crete after being beaten up, for a small amount of cannabis, which has not been yet confirmed. The cops in their statements claimed that he died suddenly from heart attack during police check, which is non-existent and is proven both by the testimonies of passers-by and by the obvious signs of beating. The purpose of the rebetiko night is to financially support the family of Kostas in the difficult struggle it has to fight for justice.

On the stage after the food, Rebet GuitarS (Jaap Faber and Charis Konstantinou), a guitar duo: https://joesgarage.nl/archives/tag/rebet-guitar
Rebetiko, the music crossroad between middle east and west from the early 1900’s. Songs about love, joy and sorrow. A musical sub-culture, a music of the lower classes.
“The womb of rebetiko was the jail and the hash den. It was there that the early rebetes created their songs. They sang in quiet, harsh voices, unforced, one after the other, each singer adding a verse which often bore no relation to the previous verse, and a song often went on for hours. There was no refrain, and the melody was simple and easy.” Ilias Petropoulos. […Lees verder]

Voku for Roma Community in Slovakia – Performance by Your Local Pirates!

Monday 21 august 2023, Voku for Roma Community in Slovakia Whose Village Has Burnt Down. Performance by Your Local Pirates! Food served from 7pm, no reservation. Music from 8:30pm.

We kindly ask you for your support of more than 70 Roma people in Telgárt, Slovakia, whose housing burnt down this July. These people were already living in slums, often without water or electricity and have no means to recover on their own. They are now living in tents with very few possessions.
As Roma people are the most marginalized community in Slovakia, this tragedy was given little to no attention in media, nor on any crowdfunding platform.
We would like to donate the money to the crowdfunding call of the Telgárt municipality that is currently providing them with tents, food, clothes, hygienic products and other essentials.

We will have a yummy and filling vegan dinner. After, there will be a performance by Your Local Pirates! You can check out their website here: https://yourlocalpirates.noblogs.org

Release concert by Johannes Karst (cello, voice)

Sunday 23 July 2023, Release concert by Johannes Karst (cello, voice). Door opening at 19:30, music from 20:30.

Johannes Karst is an interdisciplinary performer, improvisor and composer on the stage at Joe’s Garage, with his cello, for the release concert of his first album.
His artistic work and personal research are deeply interconnected and he searches for the reasons behind actions, thoughts and behaviors.
In his music he likes to create worlds with depth and layers that take the listener on a atmospheric journey and takes elements from folk, jazz and contemporary classical music.
His improvisations are raw and vulnerable, emotional with a hint of playful absurdity.
This album is not only a music album for me. It is a celebration – a celebration of life, beauty and of possibility.
Every piece on this album reflects a different part of my journey. Therefore every piece has its own unique world, its own sound and its own story to tell. But the pieces are not only an abstraction of my inner world. Through music, words and sound I want to show the beauty I experience around me. I want to share all the amazing details, complexity and the vast amount of colors that life can give us.

Lasha Rukhadze had announced his departure for Athens in the freezing winter but failed to escape the city, keeping performing in every dark corner. Then, it became useless to go to Greece as Teeth’n’Tongue, his band from Bern (CH), would visit Amsterdam in June. Lasha is back another time at Joe’s Garage, for a solo performance with his acoustic guitar. You’ll laugh your ass off, ending up dancing with the crowd. Expect an hilarious show, mime, a fusion of dub ska afro balkan tunes. Unforgettable!
