This article demonstrates how the affective economy and political energy of the live musical performances that took place there turned it into a vehicle of cultural and political contestation for the progressive youth of the time. It also challenges dominant periodizations in relation to the dictatorship, highlighting the continuities of cultural practices, group behavior, and youth protest. Lastly, drawing upon a range of sources, including oral testimonies with key figures in the music scene of the time, the article highlights the importance of sensorial and "from below" insights for the study of cultural phenomena.31application/pdfeng© Johns Hopkins University PressGreecePoliticsYouthresearch articlePolíticahttps://doi.org/10.1353/mgs.2017.0028open access4812511Journal of Modern Greek Studies35AR/0000021241
