Σοφίτα

Sofita was a medium-sized live venue in Plaka area, Athens, Greece. The first live events were held in the 1970's, by artists of the local ballad-folk genre known as "Νέο Κύμα". Costa Tournas originally performed here his work "Τα απέραντα χωράφια" (released in 1972). During 1980-1984 Sofita was run by Iraklis Triantafyllidis, who played here with his band Ηρακλής & Λερναία Ύδρα and generously provided a free artistic space to numerous bands and solo musicians, visual artists, theatre groups etc.
