Posted July 18, 2002 · Report post I found this site! It seems very good! You should read it!!!! It talks about the Rembetika songs and some great composers such as : Tsitsanis, Vamvakaris, Michalis Genitsaris, Yiannis Papayianou and many more! He also talks about Loukas Daralas and Giorgos Dalaras! Personally I like this part : Another note about George Dalaras: He played at a small club in the Plaka called Zoom very close to where I live. It could probably hold several hundred people and yet I saw him around the same time playing at Olympic stadium to ninety thousand people, most of them singing along. Have you ever heard ninety thousand people sing together? It's an amazing experience. One I will never forget.

Posted July 18, 2002 · Report post Yes, it's a very nice page about the rebetiko. My ungorgettable experience about rebetiko was Bellou standing on a table, singing for 2000 persons in Brussels, with no microphone at all (no electricity that day..., rebetiko by candlestick...), and her bouzouki player, Diamantis Panaretos, near her, trying to play for the same 2000 people (The bouzouki is not an instrument for crowds when there is no microphone). They managed to do it, marvellously! The event is related in Bellou's biography, but I can tell you, as I was there that night, that it was very very impressive! The next day, there was no problem at all with the microphones, but the magic was different and the "concert" less successfull... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 1, 2002 · Report post Very nice pages, indeed, but Matt Barrett does not seem to be able or to want to make a difference between rebetika and more recent "laiki mousiki". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 1, 2002 · Report post Apostoli This is a nice site, isn't it? I've been using it for a while, but mainly for getting information about travelling to Greece. Matt Barret was one of the people I e mailed to try to find out how to get to Prespes. Unfortunately he'd never heard of it (!) , but I was thinking of e mailing again to tell hime a) where it was and b ) what a good time we all had. One of the things I really like about the site is that he describes Dalaras as being 'to Greek music what Webster's Dictionary is to the English language'.

It is a very interesting idea, but I would have replaced the "Webster's dictionary" by the "English Oxford Dictionary" which is far more comprehensive.

Posted November 21, 2002 · Report post But what is "Rembetika Music" or rempetiko or rebetika exactly? Is it something like the America's blues? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 22, 2002 · Report post Yes, it is very much like the American blues or the tango in Argentina. But the music works differently of course. It is a perfect combination of eastern and western elements. The rebetiko "started" round about 1870 and "died" in 1960 (that's the date Sotiria Bellou gave in an interview on the Greek radio). Rebetiko composers and singers are listed in the first part of the list I sent you the other day, Antoine. Dalaras is not a rebetiko singer, but his father was a rebetis. He inherited much of the spirit of those songs and he is extremely good at singing them, one of the best today, in fact. Enjoy those songs, Antoine, they are the songs of the heart, timeless music, infinite beauty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
