[RRRRRROTS]

Greetings my good people from Greece and people who been there!

I'm blessed with a chance to go to Athens and would truly give thanks for your knowledge regarding anything related to roots and dub reggae sounds in Greece and especially Athens.

So please: if you know some artists, sound systems, concerts, record stores or any other rootical vibes please let me know this!

THANK YOU!

I'm Greek but I do not live in Greece. The sound system Dubwise HiFi is well worth seeking out (http://www.myspace.com/dubwisehifi).

I'm going to Greece this summer and I hope to catch them in a session.

Not many to do with roots reggae in Athens,unfortunately,but you can search for reggae at a place called 'monastiraki',at the center.Ask for 'ifaistou' street,there are some record stores with reggae stuff.If you be at 15 of May in Athens,you can watch M.Prophet/Alpha Blondy live,if you like.

THANK YOU!

Michael Prophet YEEEES I!!!! I think I will be there on TIME!

I see this will take place called Votanikos. Any more better tips where this is and how to get there if it is not close to center?

Any sessions for dubwise hifi in early june?

[Earth&Stone]

It's an easy place to find,very close to the center with nice enough acoustic.We had the luck,about one month ago to see there,congos,max romeo and lee perry singing his birthday party with a candle at his hat!!!Leroy horsemouth Wallas drumming,Dennis Bovell bassing plus Black Steel.Yees I,great night!!!You can search at youtube for that.By the way,Votanicos is at 'Iera odos'street.

I'm not living in Greece but been in Athens last summer for a day on a trip to Crete and found lots of record shops but not a lot of reggae LP at a decent price. Two main neighborhoods where you can find record shops : as Earth&Stone told, you can find a dozen of record shops in Monastiraki, quite close to the Acropole, few subway station from the Pyree (better ask people when you are in the flea market because some shops are very hard to find in little streets and basements). And the second area where you can find shops is Exarchia neighborhood, a dozen too.

Actually I only found one great record there : Wicked Invention, Tena Stelin 1st LP for 10€ (quite a good deal actually).

THANKS FOR THE HELP ALL MAN!

one more ting is the ticket to michael prophet and blondy really 30 euro as internet say?

[RRRRRRRROOOOTS]

and does the show really start as early as 20.00 as internet say?

[Earth&Stone]

The first 500 tickets cost 25 euros,but now cost 30, till the live show day.There,you have to pay 35 if you like to enter...And the day for Athens is the Friday 14th of May,not 15th, as I wrote before,I apologize about that...
