On 30 August 2026, singer Giorgos Dalaras performed a concert at Miaouli Square in Hermoupolis, Syros, as part of the 10th Rebetiko Festival, titled ‘Syros of Markos Vamvakaris’. The event commemorated the 200th anniversary of the city’s founding.

Dalaras performed without a fee alongside musicians Aspasia Stratigou, Vasilis Korakakis, Anatoli Margiola, and Nikos Tatasopoulos, as well as the ‘En Chordais & Organois’ school. During the performance, the Mayor of Syros-Hermoupolis presented Dalaras with a commemorative medal for the city's bicentennial. The festival serves to promote the musical heritage of Markos Vamvakaris and celebrate the cultural role of rembetiko, which Dalaras described as “the most living expression of the Greek soul.”
