During their career they have played all over the world: Greece, Albania, Germany, Montenegro, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Canada, Poland, Australia and in Taiwan's China. Companies of Greek dancers and even the Red Indians of the Dakota danced on their music. In 2019 they performed in the famous "Cortile della Pigna" in the Vatican Gardens.
