Lovely music in their melancholi. Rembetika at their best. These are treasures that the new generation should appreciate.

I wonder if the Modern Turkish singer,Muazzez Abacı (Αμπατζi) is related to Rita Αμπατzi (Abacı)?

Unfortunately I could not play them all: of those I heard, while I could not understand the words, I could hear the power of the songs. Many who are brought up to a western Style of music, in particular the tuning and Chords, will probably missunderstand this music and above all miss the real beauty of it.
