Nowadays, this fundamental urge is more intense than ever, as contemporary education seems to adopt a humanistic and democratic approach. Teachers and teaching materials stand in the centre of any teaching and learning process. With a feeling of accountability towards teachers and students, the 3rd International Conference of the Greek Association of Primary Education Music Teachers (GAPMET) has now become an institution. It has also acquired an international dimension thanks to the participation of distinguished scholars, researchers, and artists that represent cultural, educational, and research institutions from 15 countries: Canada, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Norway, Palestine, Spain, Switzerland, U.K. and the U.S.A. The basic aims of the 3rd International Conference of GAPMET are the establishment of a deeper collaboration between cultural, educational, and research institutions from all over the world, which take action in Musical and Aesthetic Education, as well as the encouragement of any related initiative for research, creativity and reflection. Within this framework, the conference aspires to highlight research that answers the fundamental questions about the future of education, research that deals with the applied teaching materials and research for teachers’ initial education and life-long training. We aspire that the 133 presenters of papers, posters, workshops, round tables and artistic events will cover the participants’ needs for updated knowledge on the results of contemporary research in the field of Music and Aesthetic Education. We anticipate that the exchange of viewpoints, good practices and ideas will essentially contribute to the progress in the field. The participation and active contribution in the conference of eminent scientists and artists from three continents, America, Europe and Asia, attests that the first aim of the conference has already been fulfilled. In order to achieve the second aim of the conference we should decode the information, combine the information and interpret reality targeting for a effective, creative and humanistic Music and Aesthetic Education.

    AHEPA’s James Plevritis Evzone Chapter #405 Invites you to a Unique Cultural "Greek Movie Night" Presenting the Award Winner Movie "REBETIKO" Produced: 1983 Drama and Historic Fiction 2.5 hours The story is based on the life of the Rebetiko singer Marika Ninou and her relation with the famous composer Vassilis Tsitsanis. It presents the Rebetiko song as it entangles with the political instability of the entire Greek nation starting from the Asia Minor Disaster in 1922, the World War II and Nazi occupation in 1940, the tragic Civil War in 1948, to the even more economic instability of the 1950's.

This was a time of tremendous transition and instability for the entire Greek nation. The film begins with a montage of the Asia Minor Disaster which resulted in a population exchange, that increased the population in Greece by approximately 25%, almost overnight, in 1923 with most of them ending up in Athens. It was in these overcrowded and economically and spiritually destitute conditions during the 1930's, that the Rembetiko genre of music reached its height in popularity.

  • 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.

  • The Musical Instruments
    The choir of the 3rd High School of Acharnes, Greece Under Mrs. Mersini Theotokatou, teacher of Music, presents a short project on REBETICO … European Multilateral Comenius project MARE NOSTRUM 2013‐15 LISBON 2015 REBETICO The kind of urban popular music that appeared in Greece at the end of the 19th century and shaped its well‐known form until the third decade of the 20th century. Before entering the big cities Rebetico music expanded its roots and flourished in the ports, next to the harbors of Pireas, Salonica and Volos where marginal and working class people lived and worked. One of the most serious researchers of Rebetico, Elias Petropoulos, divides its history in three periods a) 1922‐32: The first period strongly influenced by the original music of Smyrna b) 1932‐42: The classical period c) 1942‐52: The period of its wide expansion and massive reception by the whole national audience The first period When the disaster of Smyrna(1922) was followed by the populations exchange between Greece and Turkey according to the Lausanne treaty (1923), Rebetico had its greatest influence by the music of Smyrna. Many Minor Asian refugees were installed in urban centers along with their musical tradition and instruments. In this period the topics of Rebetico mainly refer to love and marginal life (effort to be adapted, imprisonment, social rejection, drugs etc.). In the beginning of the 20th century Rebetico was the poor neighborhoods popular song of big cities. The Harbour of Smyrna The classical period In 1932 we have the first recordings of Marcos Vamvakaris, while until 1941 most of the classical Rebetico composers and singers appear in discography some of them are: Payioumtzis, Bayiaderas, Yianis Papaioannou, Vasilis Tsitsanis, Manolis Chiotis, Stelakis Perpiniadis, Rosa Eskenasi and an more.

  • 1 Ioannis Halikias Aka Jack Gregory
    1 Ioannis Halikias aka Jack Gregory (1898-1957)1 Aydin Chaloupka Introduction Before 1932, the bouzouki had only been recorded a handful of times commercially, but these songs were in no real ways influential. The bouzouki still had a bad name and with the exception of the recordings of Manetas in 1931, had not been recorded in Greece. In 1932, Ioannis “Jack” Halikias (1898-1957), a Greek-American recorded “Minore tou teke,” the first bouzouki solo, and probably the most influential bouzouki recording ever made.2 It was this record that was responsible for the decision to start openly recording the bouzouki in Greece. It also provided the opportunity for the rise of players like Markos Vamvakaris, Anestis “Artemis” Delias, Giannis Papaioannou, and Vassilis Tsitsanis. It was “Minore” that inspired Papaioannou to pick up the bouzouki: Listen then, how I got a bouzouki and became Papaioannou: One day I was sitting in the taverna, eating. I was wearing work clothes. I heard a record that Halikias made in America. It was a great hit from America, on one side there was a solo minore and on the other a solo zeimbekiko. Once I heard it, I went crazy. I got up to read the label and saw Halkias' name. It said "Giannis Halikias." It was the "Minore tou teke." I went crazy! A song like that will never be produced again in nature. No one else made a song like that. That is a symbol, which is untouchable by the whole world. (Papaioannou) 3 For all the influence Halikias had in Greece, he spent remarkably little time there.

It had existed in some form in Greece and Constantinople since at least the turn of the century, but it is as difficult to define or get to the origins of as jazz or blues –genres with which (tenuous) comparisons are often made, not so much for the music as for its inspirations, themes and tone. Rembétika songs tell of illicit or frustrated love, drug addiction, police oppression, death – and their delivery tends to be resignation to the singer's lot, coupled with defiance of authority. Musically, rembétika is bound in with the bouzoúki – a long-necked, fretted lute derived, like the Turkish saz, from the Byzantine tambourás.

  • Historical Development of Rembetika Music and Its Relationship to Contemporary Popular Music in Greece by Dharma Deva (1999)
    Historical development of rembetika music and its relationship to contemporary popular music in Greece by Dharma Deva (1999) Definition and early background The word rembetika is from the Turkish 'rebet' meaning intractable, rebellious, unruly (Panagiotakopoulos 1997a). The music originated as slow and sad songs. This characteristic derives perhaps from Byzantine church music (Holst-Warhaft 1997). However, historically Greek music has also been influenced by the Turks and West Asia Minor, and so rembetika incorporates musical forms of the eastern Mediterranean. When the Greeks revolted against the Turks in 1821 establishing the beginning of a new Greek nation in 1830, some 2 million Greeks still lived in Turkey. In the last decade of the 19th century sociological factors were such that the rise of the working class, movement from villages to towns and seaports, and another war with Turkey in 1897 resulted in considerable impoverishment in Greece giving rise to sections of society being alienated and resorting to crime - these became the rembetes consistently prosecuted by the police (Panagiotakopoulos 1997a). The Smyrna era - 1890 to 1923 Rembetika music, reflecting depressed living conditions, in prisons and in homes is believed to have been heard in 1891 or earlier (Panagiotakopoulos 1997a). Early musical sources which contributed to its character include the vaudeville scene, popular and oriental songs, tavern songs, short poems and Byzantine psalms. The melodic line is based on a mode, i.e. dromi (literally 'road'). These were Arabic and Turkish modes (e.g. Rast D E F# G A B C D, Hitzaz D Eb F# G A Bb C D) from Turkish makam or classical music.
