    RADIO ACTIVE Lampsi looks set to shine again One of the first stations to successfully blend Greek music with international pop product, SBS-owned AC station Lampsi was the number one music station in Athens until the Greek government closed it down in March 2001. Back on the air since April with a four-year licence, it's having to climb back to the top all over again, as Maria Paravantes reports. n March 2001, Lampsi-Greek for "light" or "glow"-was sitting happily at the top of the music radio ratings table in Athens and the wider Attica region with a 13.7% share of listening.

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.
