Performer Notes

Features traditional Greek and Turkish instruments such as the oud, baglamas and others.
Performers include: Andonis Dalgas, Roza Eskenazi, Marika Papagika, Agapios Tomboulis, Yiannis Tsanakas, Markos Vamvakaris, Stratos & Keromitis, Ioannis Papaioannou, Rita Abatzi, Jack Gregory, Ogdhondakis, George Macreyannis, Marika Kanaropoulou, George Katsaros, Markos Vamvakaris, Stratos Pagioumitzis, Lambrous Leondaridhis, Yiangos Psamatianos.
This is a welcome collection. There are some musical and conceptual cavils, but each is more than balanced by a strength. Some of the cuts are far from their singers' best, and The Papaioannis piece is plain unworthy. But there's a great deal of fine music from unfamiliar as well as familiar artists (including the first recorded bousouki solo -- check out the "Moonlight Sonata" piano!). ~ John Storm Roberts
