Imam Baildi Performs at Lafayette's Festival International de Louisiane

Entertaining at the venue's central stage, the musicians described one of their traditional songs as, "... it's like you're at a Greek wedding". The style of the Hellenic group's music is an unconventional instrumental mixture of a saxophone, electric guitar, drums and a lute. The tunes are an eclectic infusion from the 40s, 50s 60s, with a modern spin that encourages listeners to dance.

Imam Baildi is made up of two brothers Lysandros and Orestis Falireas and a band that is best described as electro swing meets bouzouki, hip hop meshed with traditional Greek and big band melodies, and authentic Greek-Balkan brass combined with MC's and Cuban rhythms. The group's self-titled first album was met with global acclaims in 2007, leading to their second album, that climbed to number five on the European World Music Charts in 2011.
