This process led the population in some cases to the large Rebetiko areas of the time and in other to countries able to adsorb a large work-force 3. Apart from any definition we could give to rebetiko, it is strongly connected to these movements of the population which led to changes in place Rebetiko residence and work and economic conditions.

  • 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 ).

Die Probleme in meinem Land machten es mir mitunter schwer, mich auf meine Arbeit zu konzentrieren und ließen des Öfteren Zweifel an der Sinnhaftigkeit dieses Unterfangens aufkommen. Dass ich die Arbeit schließlich doch zu Ende führen konnte, liegt daran, dass es Menschen gab, die mir außerordentlich viel Unterstützung, Hilfe und Zuspruch zuteil werden ließen.

  • 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. Indeed, as Attali * I read an earlier version of this paper to the conference on “The Musical Traditions of Modern Greece” at Yale University in March 2003. I am also obliged to one of the anonymous reviewers of this volume, To Dr. Elizabeth Close, and to Mr Kostas Vlisidis for critical comments. The final version is entirely my own responsibility.
