Newsletter January 2021 Newsletter Issue 14: January 2021 Καλη Χρονια or Happy New year! I am guessing I am not the only one glad to see the back of 2020. I also know most of you will be feeling totally desperate with the announcement of another national lock down. As with my last few newsletters I am staying optimistic for 2021 and we do truly believe that if we can all get through the winter, spring will bring a much sunnier outlook. Figure 1 Mylopotas Beach Ios view from Ios Palace Hotel July 2020 “O! how shall summer's honey breath hold out, / Against the wrackful siege of battering days?” ― William Shakespeare, Coming up The usual mix of our news, old news, a notable Syros islander and the Milos Catacombs! “And summer isn't a time. It's a place as well. Summer is a moving creature and likes to go south for the winter.” ― Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay Figure 2 Ermopolis Syros - 2019 1 Our News As you enter your first week of another lock down Greece has been in the same one since 7th November, so back to the texts to leave the house which you can only do for 5 reasons, no none essential retail or bars/cafes or schools open, however we can still get a take away coffee and sit on the beach (as long as we list it as exercise). There was some easing off of restrictions for Christmas Day but for the next week or so lockdown will be tighter to ensure some children can return to school on the 11th January. The Greek PM has indicated this will finish in February when the vast amount of the venerable have been vaccinated. The first vaccine started being rolled out on the 27th December. Greece is now marked as” green” by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, so fingers crossed this lock down has worked and although the behaviour of some including the Church at Epiphany may prolong it. The lock down did throw up some very strange anomalies including an inadvertent ban on selling heaters, slippers and blankets (you will be pleased to know for my sake this has now been rectified!) We expect tourism to restart at Easter. Obviously, there are hurdles to get through but with the roll out of vaccines in the UK and in Europe, faster and easier testing and insurance companies now covering tourists for Covid related issues, confidence in the market is returning. We are giving the option for new holidays in 2021, where we will take a small initial refundable deposit of £50 per adult and £25 per child with the next payment due on the 31st of March so you are making less of a financial commitment and getting the benefit of making sure availability is good. Note for islands with a high rate of tourism from Greece (such as Tinos/Sifnos/Serifos/Kythnos and Syros) accommodation is already being booked up for August, (note this applies to accommodation only holidays with flights bolted on later) Can I also add if you want to plan your holiday but not to commit to anything yet I can do that for you now – we all know the planning can be very time consuming so if it is ready to go it makes all our lives easier! “. .Looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables Gastronomy weeks October 2021 – we are in the process of competing details of these and by the next news letter I hope to have more information, we will also be advertising this in February, the plan for the first course is a Greek bread, pie and pastry course, including some favourites like Baklava, Cheese Pies! These courses are limited to 10 people per course and if you want to register your interest please let me know. 2 Old News from the Islands (and Athens!) In the news – there is no news other than Covid – so I am reverting to old news again! Attempt to Save Ancient Statue from the French fails! Milos 1820: The ancient statue of Aphrodite was accidentally discovered by a Greek farmer George Kentrotas in the Tripiti area of Ottoman controlled Milos (more about Tripiti later). Kentrotas sold the statue for an apparently nominal fee to Louis Brest the French Vice- Consul who had heard of the discovery from a French Naval officer Olivier Voutier. Greek historian Dimitris Fotiadis reported that the locals hearing about the sale were furious and tried to stop the statue being loaded on to a French ship, this caused a skirmish and French soldiers on board the ship fired guns at the islanders killing and injuring several of them. The trouble did not end there though, as many islanders on small boats followed the French boat, also getting word to other Greeks in Piraeus about the “theft.”. According to Fotiadis when the vessel arrived at Piraeus there were around 1000 people gathered protesting against the statue’s removal from Greece. The ensuing protest led to both the French crew of the boat and Ottoman soldiers who were there to protect the French again turning their guns on the Greeks with Fotiadis claiming that 200 were killed before the ship finally set sail for France. The Greek historian wrote that the “farmers and fishermen of Milos fought and died to preserve Greece’s cultural heritage and that Figure 3 Venus De Milo – obviously! the events of the Venus de Milo plunder have been shrewdly kept a secret.” The Venus is one of the most viewed antiquities in the Louvre to this day. There was some consternation in Greece when on his first meeting with Emanual Macron the (then new) Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis asked the French President for the return of a part of the sculptures the Louvre holds, (a Parthenon metope depicting a centaur) but not the Aphrodite. Milos island has an ongoing campaign for the return of the statue. 3 Elgin loses “his” marbles! After departing from the port of Piraeus on the 17th September 1802, en-route to Malta, and then to Great Britain the ship The Mentor, requisitioned by “serial looter” (or conservator of antiquities depending on which side of the fence you sit on), Thomas Bruce 7th Earl of Elgin sank after hitting rocks off the island of Kythira. The ship’s cargo not only contained the Parthenon marbles but also 17 boxes of antiquities all of which ended up on the bottom of the sea. Fortunately for the twelve crew, the ship Anikitos was in the Figure 4 View of the Parthenon from the Zappeion area and all were rescued. Upon hearing of the disaster Elgin organised a retrieve and salvage mission, which involved the authorities and residents of Kythera along with British diplomatic personnel. The marbles were successfully rescued and eventually found their way to the British museum. Many other ancient artifacts were not rescued and left on the seabed. Elgin’s right to remove the antiquities he did is still disputed, in 1802 he received a “firman” from the Ottoman government. According to the firman, Lord Elgin’s men would not be obstructed by the authorities in Athens in their “scholarly work”. Additionally, Elgin was allowed to ‘take away any pieces of stone with inscriptions or figures, many would argue that even this did not give him permission to” hack away” pieces of the Parthenon! In recent years there have been various attempts to rescue antiquities left in the wreck of the Mentor some more successful than others have recovered ancient artifacts. As I have said in the past Mary Beard in her book The Parthenon takes a very balanced approach, around the debate surrounding the return or not of the Marbles. This is also a good book to read before you go to Athens. Visit the New Acropolis Museum in Athens the top floor contains the remaining marbles with plaster copies representing the missing ones Yet still the gods are just, and crimes are cross’d See here what Elgin won, and what he lost! Another name with his pollutes my shrine: Behold where Diana’s beams disdain to shine! Some retribution still might Pallas claim, When Venus half avenged Minerva’s shame. “The Curse of Minerva”, George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron 1807 4 The woman who was told she could not run – but did anyway! “a female Olympian would be impractical, uninteresting, inaesthetic and incorrect. The Olympic Games should be reserved for men. A woman’s role should above all be to crown the champions”. Baron Pierre de Coubertin Born in Syros in 1866 Stamata Revithi became the first woman to “unofficially” run an Olympic marathon. Records show that by 1896 when the first Olympic Games of the modern era were being staged in Athens, a 30- year-old Stamata probably widowed was living in poverty in Piraeus with a 17-month- old child. It is reported that whilst on her way to Athens to look for work she got talking to various people who suggested that if she ran the Olympic marathon, she could find fame and fortune. The Marathon was a race that had never been held Figure 5 Sketch of Revithi from the time before, it was the suggestion of Michel Bréal a French man who had been inspired by the legend of the messenger Pheidippides who had run from Marathon to Athens to announce the victory of the Athenians in the Battle of Marathon, (although he did drop dead after he had made the announcement,) She decided that as she had been a good long-distance runner as a child the 40km race held no fears for her.

  • Markos Vamvakaris : the Man and the Bouzouki
    Markos Vamvakaris : The Man and the Bouzouki. Autobiography PDF Author: Noonie Minogue Pages: 320 pages ISBN: 9780993263309 Markos Vamvakaris, born in 1905 in Syros was a pioneer of rebetiko, the urban folk music of Greece. The bouzouki was a disreputable instrument but he paved its path to glory. He spent many years, first as a stevedore in the port of Piraeus and then as a butcher in the slaughterhouse. During this time he fell in love with a tigress, his first wife, he learnt to smoke hashish and to play the 'sacred' instrument: 'I had a great passion. My life was all bouzouki. It took me over - but it also took me up in the world, way up ...' This is the first ever translation into English of the autobiography compiled by Angeliki Vellou Keil in 1972. It opens a window onto a time of extraordinary creativity in the history of Greek music, an explosion of songwriting in the interwar period. Its composers wrote about themselves and each other, the rituals of hashish smoking and the landmarks of a now vanished city. Markos the repentant sinner and living legend, looks back at childhood idylls in Syros, the arrival of the Asia Minor refugees, the terrible years of the Nazi Occupation, the ceaseless love affairs and disappointments, and the triumphs of the bouzouki. He offers a rare insight into the lives of toiling workers and the lowlife of one of the world's most ancient ports, where East meets West. Out of this melting pot he produced the classic songs that Greeks of all ages still love and know by heart.

  • The Rembetiko Music
    The Rembetiko Music Rembetiko music is a very popular genre of Greek Folk music. It is often called the Greek form of blues music, because it was merely formed in the same social background. Although it is not played that much anymore, its melodies, harmonies and scales have been a big influence for Greek music since. That is why I chose to do a popular, not only in Greece, but around the world too. research on its history and on its particular musical characteristics, that made it so Definition of Rembetiko Rembetiko is the music played by the mbe Although musicologists are not logy, they describe there so-tes. as vagrant, tainted, marginalsure about thepeople, terms oretymo people from the underworld.called Theyrembetes were mostly people who gathered in small cafes and tekes to smoke hashish, drink alcohol and play songs, in order to ex The ensembles occurring from those cafes would look somethingpress theirlike the lifes picture suffering. on the right (Photo ).

  • REBETİKANIN KADIN DERVİŞLERİ VE DİĞER ŞÜPHELİ HANIMLARI Gail Holst-Warhaft Çeviren: E
    VOLUME 6 / SPRING 2013 GENDER REBETİKANIN KADIN DERVİŞLERİ VE DİĞER ŞÜPHELİ HANIMLARI Gail Holst-Warhaft Çeviren: E. Şirin Özgün Yunanistan’da rebetikanın geliştiği ve yıldızının parladığı dönem kabaca fl amenkonun, tangonun ve ABD’de kentli blues’un yükseldiği döneme denk gelir.1 Rebetika bu tip müziklerle pek çok ortak özelliğe sahiptir: bunlar erkek müzisyen, şarkıcı ve dansçıların en azından yabancıların gözüne stereotipik olarak maço göründüğü türlerdir. İçeriden bakıldığında ise, ya da daha incelikli bir ba- kışla, bütün bu popüler müzik türlerindeki kadın ve erke rollerinin ilk anda göründüklerinden daha belirsiz olabilecekleri görülebilir; hatta bu roller yansıttıkları stereotipleri bile ters yüz edebilir.2 Rebetikada müzik icra eden gerçek kadınların rolü ile şarkı sözlerinde yansıtılan kadın imgesi erken dönem Küçük Asya-İzmir tarzı şarkılardan Pire dönemine ve geniş ölçekte popülerlik ka- zanan 1960ların buzuki müziğine kadar çeşitlilik gösterir. İcra edildiği sert ortama ve erkeklerin icracı ve şarkı yazarı olarak egemen olmasına rağmen, Markos Vamvakaris ve Pire Dörtlüsü’nün başını çektiği 1930ların rebetikası bile tamamen maço olarak nitelendirilemez. Rebetikanın çe- kici yönlerinden biri mizah anlayışıdır; kostümün duruşuna, dansın sadece erkekler tarafından yapılmasına ve buzukinin keskin sesine rağmen bu sert pozlarda kendi kendisiyle alay eden bir hal, kabadayının ipliğini pazara çıkaran bir göz kırpma vardır. Şarkılar büyük ölçüde erkeklerden oluşan bir grubun üyeleri arasındaki yoldaşlıktan bahseder, fakat bu gruplarda

  • A Way of Life
    The Passenger: Greece — May 2020 ISBN: 9781787702189 A Way of Life Matteo Nucci Translated by Alan Thawley Rebetiko is rebel music by definition (challenging power, war and conformism), part of the cultural baggage of those displaced from Asia Minor. In recent years it has been reborn and is once again releasing its revolutionary potential. I was initiated into rebetiko by a Russian. His name is Yanni, a skinny guy with a glassy look in his eyes softened by a glint of non-conformity. He carries himself with respect and delicacy, and sooner or later you will come across him if you have fallen in love with this unique music and start frequenting the right places in Athens, the old-time venues that cannot be named because they have to stay on the margins of the law. You will see him bent over his tsipouro, the Greek version of grappa, and his cigarettes rolled from the best tobacco. A blond dandy, a peaceful rebel. Yanni Litovchenko smokes like a rebetis, a rebetiko musician, but he does not play and does not sing. He sits on the margins of these rooms full of music and ashtrays. And he listens. He dreams. Sometimes he will let out a yell or sing a verse under his breath. He has a passion for this music, and if you fall under its spell, succumb to the tales that he tells and his amazing night-time pilgrimages, perhaps you might have the same experience as me. At the beginning I thought he was just an unusual character.

  • Mammon and the Greek Oriental Muse. Rebetika As a Marketing Construct*
    MAMMON AND THE GREEK ORIENTAL MUSE Mammon and the Greek Oriental Muse. Rebetika as a Marketing Construct* Stathis Gauntlett Th is paper is a preliminary exploration of the role of the recording industry in the construction of rebetika as a genre of Greek song in response to evolving market opportunities and constraints. Preoccupied with less mundane issues, discussion of rebetika has hitherto neglected to consider the genre as commodity unless in order to demonise record- ing companies as corruptors of pristine tradition, or to wallow in minu- tiae of empirical discography. Today genre is a major organising princi- ple of music business and, notwithstanding the danger of crediting the Greek industry with too much foresight and control, a detailed study of the political economy of rebetika is overdue. Th is skirmish with some of the main issues, using data from corporate archives, aims to advance such an undertaking. Th e title and main argument of this paper echo the words of Jacques Attali (1985:3): “And today, wherever there is music, there is money.” By the late twentieth century the main source of money for music — and not just for musicians — was the recording industry.

BODIES IN THE MARGINS Refiguring the Rebetika as Literature Sophia Schlesinger Faculty Advisor: Andrea Kaston-Tange Macalester English Department Submitted April 25th, 2020 Abstract This thesis engages a literary analysis of a corpus of songs and recordings known as the rebetika (sing. rebetiko), which prospered in the port districts of major cities throughout the Aegean in the early 20th century. Engaging the rebetika as literary texts, I argue, helps us understand how they have functioned as a kind of pressure point on the borders between nation and Other. Without making unproveable biographical claims about the motives of the music progenitors, I examine why so many have reached for the rebetika as texts with which to articulate various political and cultural desires. Using a multidisciplinary theoretical framework that includes Elaine Scarry, Stuart Hall, Edward Said, Mark C.

  • Marginality--A Key Concept to Understanding the Resurgence of Rebetiko in Turkey
    Marginality—A Key Concept to Understanding the Resurgence of Rebetiko in Turkey DANIEL KOGLIN In the following pages, I want to compare some of the ways people in Greece and Turkey today understand and use the label “rebetiko,” which denotes a type of Greek popular or “urban folk” song recorded mainly during the first half of the twentieth century. While in Greece the music that is now commonly called rebetiko has always delighted numerous fans, it has over the past two decades also gained in popularity on the opposite side of the Aegean Sea. Turkish listeners have, however, not only adopted the Greek notion of rebetiko—i.e., a specific internal representation of the attributes shared by a complex of songs—but they have also adapted it to their own cultural environment. The aim of my essay is to show that an investigation into this matter can contribute to a revision of current views on rebetiko, which thus far has been examined primarily in the light of theories deriving from Greek intellectual debates. From the study of record labels it can safely be inferred that by the beginning of the twentieth century the term “rebetiko” was already current among the Greek-speaking population of cities within the Ottoman Empire, although it is unclear in which sense it was used.1 Since then, however, Greek journalists, musicians, scholars, record producers, and other authorities have applied the term with some inconsistency to songs that differ considerably in terms of melodic properties, the content and style of their lyrics, or the manner of performance.
