Rembetika 5: Master of Rembetika 1932-1937

A miserable job at an Athens slaughterhouse convinced Vamvakaris that he needed a way out. Probably not even he could have imagined that his choice to learn to play the bouzouki would eventually make him one of Greece's best-loved musicians. Here are 85 of his most cherished performances: his own compositions Kara Douzeni; Arap; Taxim Serf; Tragiaskes; O Harmanis; Mastouras; Kolpadzou; I Klostirou; I Xanthia; Alaniaris; O Synachis; O Isovitis; Koroidho; Syros; to 1912; Ziliara; Na Yiati Perno; Frangosyriani; Mikros Aravoniastika; Plimmira; Xanarthes Vassilia, and more!
