5.0 out of 5 stars
Super-rare old "Greek blues" music, July 8, 2002
This review is from: 1933-38 (Audio CD)
Rita Abadzi was one of the most popular female singers of Greek "rembetica", an acoustic style often called "the Greek blues". The musicians on this disc include Greeks, Turks and Armenians, playing a rich mix of regional styles, with languid ouds or wild gypsy-ish violins, all capped off by Abadzi's husky, confident vocals. You might also check out the compilations of material by Abadzi's rival, Roza Eskanazi, which have come out on Heritage Records and on the Rounder label.
