   About Imam Baildi
After a few successful experiments with old Greek tunes we liked from our father's collection of 78rpm vinyls, we decided to produce an entire album using samples from Greek tunes from the 40's, 50's and 60's. The outcome is hard to describe in terms of genre since all the tracks vary in style. Nevertheless, all of them carry the oriental vibes of the original tracks. The idea was to bring forward some of these forgotten gems from Greek artists of the past century and blend them with modern sounds and rhythm into something new and unique. It took a lot of experimentation and loads of time and effort because what we most feared was ending up with a cheap sounding boxy beat over an old sample pattern. We focused on truly blending old and new, in bringing every addition under the old recordings' skin. To what extent we have achieved that is not for us to say, for that matter we would very much appreciate any feedback. The Imam Baildi album was released 29th October 2007and is also available on iTunes. Album cover art by Bizare www.myspace.com/bizareone

Viva La Revolucion!





Sep 3 2008 11:57 AM

Already renowned as one of the greatest and historic jazz clubs in the world, Ronnie Scott’s has always offered the very best in live jazz music. As well as the main club, the venue’s upstairs bar known as Ronnie’s Bar, enjoys considerable prestige as a classy and upmarket place to wile away the evenings in style recreating the relaxed vibe of the 50’s speakeasy. Ronnie’s Bar has always been a well kept secret. However, a simple walk up the historical staircase will lead you to one of the most intimate yet highly sophisticated cocktail bars in Soho.



EVERY FRIDAY – Viva La Revolucion!

A celebration of music hosted by the hottest Cuban players in town, Viva La Revolucion! features a selection of artists from London's eclectic world scene. The night peaks with a HOT Latin-style jam session that keeps everyone dancing and spirits high.


Hosted by multi-talented perfromer/producer Miguan, and having Javier Camilo, Kishon Khan and Noda among the house band musicians, the night promises to shake you up and down! Regular guests on the night include amazing Cuban singer Yaime and Sur Caribe's Rene, Michel and Randy; Morski (Gipsydelica), Ramsay (Brecha), Susana Lang-Lenton, Monte (La Xula), Luzmira Zerpa, Otto Nascarela (Saravah Soul) and Domingo Candelario.


Bar opens at 6pm £5 after 9pm £8 after 11pm we go till 3am...

Come early to avoid queue!

Αχ βρε παιδιά ήμουν το σαβ/κο στην αίγινα μιας και είναι το νησί μου και τυχαία έμαθα αργά το βράδυ του σαββάτου οτι παίζατε στα περδικιώτικα! Μα καλά ούτε μια αφίσα δεν είδα πουθενά!!!! Γκρρρρρ δεν πειράζει! Ελπίζω να περάσατε όμορφα! Καλό καλοκαίρι κ δημιουργικό εύχομαι! Δυστυχώς η Μυκόνος δεν είναι στις επιλογές των διακοπών μου οπότε δεν θα σας πετύχω πουθενά!
