the best compilation:
this is by far the best compilation I've heard of old rembetika. All the recordings are original, and they represent the whole variety of rembetika written in the 20's and 30's, from amanedes, to hashish songs, to songs about xenitia and suffering. The song Opios Orphanepse micros is my favorite rebetiko.
so good it hurts:
I agree with erikab93, if you had to choose one, this would be it. Dalgas's Sousta politiki is a favorite. Katsaros's track #15 is another. But my favorite is Amanes Hiotikos by Yangos Psamatianos. That song has the perfect feel of this kind of music. He sings so good it hurts... but it hurts good!
listening through a window back in time:
this fabulous CD is a marvel of the human spirit caught in time and place .A world we can never go to , but we can visit through this window.There is a eerie nostalgic quality to the music which is palpable and strange given that in their time and place these recordings were contemporary .
beautiful Greek songs:
Of all my recent Greek purchases, this is one of the most beautiful. The instrumental elements are especially pleasant. There's a variety of wonderful artists. One of the most interesting is Yanni or Jangos Psamatianos.
Stellar Rembitica Artists All on One CD:
If I had to own one and only one CD of Rembetica music: this one is it!!! Usually there is only one or two instruments accompanying a song/instrumental: either bouzouki alone or with either a kanun, cimbalom, violin, or clarinet, or lyra alone ... then the voice of a famed Rembetica singer starts to sing: to the beat of a "Cafe Aman" melody. The stark contrast of voice and basic instruments creates a very earthy and natural sound. The liner notes are helpful in listing origin of the song or instrumental, a little history of where it was first played or recorded and something about the life of the artist. Overall, this is the *best* combination of Rembetica music I have yet heard!
