"Orestis and Lysandros Falireas’ project Imam Baildi will be at Babylon on December 26 and 27.
Imam Baildi’s sound is like injecting a Greek band of the 1950’s into a modern sound system. To begin with, take samples from old Greek tunes and Balkan music. Base them on a solid rhythm section with live percussion & drums and sampled hip hop, rumba and samba beats. Mix all that with Balkan sax, clarinet, trumpet and bagpipe solos. Spice it up with rembetiko inspired bouzouki parts and gipsy guitar riffs. And don’t forget the vocal part reaching out to your hearts with singers soulful voice. There you have it: Imam Baildi playing live. They played in major festivals along Gogol Bordello, Ojos De Brujo, Massive Attack and they released their latest album The Imam Baildi Cookbook in 2010 that reached number 5 and stayed more than 5 months in European World Music Charts.
