Description

The bards of rebetiko music narrate its story through original biographies and a plethora of unique photographs and other documents.

In a beautifully designed edition, they depict the legendary era, whose melodic treasures inspire our current great struggles and invite us to sing our own… songs of resilience and aesthetic uplift.

The book begins with the "patriarch" Markos Vamvakaris, from his birthplace, and the narration by his son Stelios about how his father painted the pictures of his life with the bouzouki.

Unpublished elements for enthusiasts who changed folk music: Anestis Delias, Stratos Payoumtsis, Giorgos Kavouros, Vangelis Papazoglou. The last concerts of Giorgos Theologitis-Katsarou.

The truth about Vasilis Tsitsanis' "Cloudy Sunday," melodic transformations by Apostolos Kaldaras. The tender kaïki player Apostolos Hatzichristos, the "rebetiko" violinist Dimitris Semsis-Salonikios.

Unique singers: Prodromos Tsaousakis, Stella Haskil, Giannis Baxevanis, Kostas Tsanakos, who stamped songs with their voices. The legendary lyre player Andreas Rodinos and the co-patron Stelios Foustalieris.

The distinguished Georgios Mitsakis, the "forgotten" Kostas Kanoulas, Stavros Pantelidis, Tolis Esdras. Families of musicians have shaped the folk muse with their playing, Manolis and Evangelia Margaroni.

Spyros Kalfopoulos, the last star before the Indian darkness, and the sarcastic Chontro-Nakos. Our recent discovery: Giorgos Makarona.

The passions from the legendary "Scala" of Milan in Volos are not missing. Conclusion with the pioneer of radio, Georgios Kontogeorgiou.
