Rembetika was the music of the urban Greek underground of the 1930's. It is often known as 'the Greek Blues' and its singers inhabited the world of the tekedhes or cafes around Piraeus, Athens and Thessaloniki. Café Rembetika features four of the greatest stars of the Piraeus scene that later formed the first Rembetika supergroup: Markos Vamvakaris, Stratos, Batis and Artemis. Also featured are leading singers from the Café Aman tradition: Rosa Eskenazi, Rita Abatsi and Marika Papagika. Here then, is a collection of some of the greatest songs from the golden age of Rembetika.

Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America.

They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
