Origins
As opposed to other forms of Greek urban folk music, éntekhno concerts would often take place outside a hall or a night club in the
Tasos Livaditis. By the 1960s, innovative albums helped éntekhno become close to mainstream, and also led to its appropriation by the film industry
for use in soundtracks.

New Wave
A form of éntekhno which is even closer to western classical music was introduced during the mid-1960s, which was called New Wave and was a mixture of éntekhno and
Mihalis Violaris, Kostas Hatzis and the composer Giannis Spanos. This music scene flourished in a specific type of boîte de nuit.[2]
