V.A. - Rembetika 2 (More Of The Secret History Of Greek Underground Music)



4 CDs-Boxset | MP3 320 kbps | Incl. Artwork | 726 MB



From All Music Guide: Great Britain's JSP label took a chance in 2006 by issuing a four-disc overview of rembetika (the
"officially designated" Greek underground and criminal communities) called Rembetika: Greek Music from the
Underground. It was official because at one point in the 20th century, the music was actually officially banned by the
Metaxas government (in 1937) and didn't peep above ground for another 11 years. (Gangster rappers and metalheads take
heart: you were not the first nor will you be the last.) That set, like this one, appropriately titled Rembetika 2: More
of the Secret History of Greece's Underground Music, included four CDs, all of which were annotated with fine notes, and
production masters cleaned up as much as possible -- no easy feat since a lot of this music was originally released on
either 78s or cylinders -- but some survived, amazingly, on recording tape. 



Charles Howard has done an excellent job of compiling and annotating this second box, and takes a different approach
than on the first one. While the music was arranged according to the popularity, suppression, and eventual dissemination
of rembetika on the first box, here the approach is strictly chronological, beginning with recordings made as early as
1908 and continuing until 1929.



The music began to flourish in 1927 and gained an infamous notoriety by the time it was suppressed in 1937. The second
disc here concentrates on the years when the style began to emerge as a mature musical form to the brink of its
flowering as genuine popular music to be enjoyed not only in bars and other places of ill repute, but at home on the
Victrola: 1929 to 1934. The music was nearly mainstream, despite its lyrics about sex, death, dope, and violence. This
didn't make a whit of difference to its musicians and singers, who went about their lives as if they had never seen the
embracing of the form, though, as is wont to happen when any record company comes sniffing around, "stars" of
a fashion were made and recorded often. The third disc follows the trail of the years 1934 through the official
crackdown in 1937, when lyrics, music, and singing styles began to make it so blatantly anti-authoritarian, the Metaxas
power structure, pressured by Turkey, had no choice but to brand anyone playing rembetika as a subversive; this is the
beginning of rembetika's return to the underground. Its origins are shrouded in mystery anyway, buried in the murky,
cross-whispering cultures and folk styles of the middle 19th century where it had emerged as a coded speech for
criminality. Beginning in 1937, all recording of rembetika was thought to have stopped because being caught singing,
playing, or taping this music was punishable by prison. It never completely ceased, but became as hard to get as a gun
in Canada. It existed solely in hashish houses, brothels, gambling and opium dens, and in other locales where hardened
criminals congregated; it was recorded there or under cover of night in home fashioned studios. It returned to its
dubious honor as the official folk form of the criminal class. 



The last disc offers proof of the kind of truly hardcore rembetika made during that suppression, as well as a kind of
coded music that resembled it, and hinted at its gnarly and knotted roots and legendary origins. As fascinating as all
this is, however, it's not what truly separates this box from its predecessor and makes it such a compelling and
obsessive listen. The earliest music on this box isn't even from Greece! Rembetika wasn't recorded there until 1925,
three years after refugees arrived in Greece from the Greek-Turkish war. The earliest music here comes from
Constantinople and Smyrna, where traveling sound engineers from record companies did field recordings of the songs
coming from the counterculture. They surfaced, as early as 1915 in the United States were attempts were being made to
establish a market for rembetika among Greek immigrants. On the first volume here, accordions, balalaikas, fiddles,
ouds, cembaloms, and above all, those deep mournful, defiant, and sadder than death vocals come wafting out, creating a
stranger, more troublesome blues. The music on these sides is far more rare than what appears on the first box, and is
rougher in sound quality in many places. It comes from sources where only a single copy is known to exist in a private
or museum collection. That said, the power of these recordings is not diminished in the slightest. The hard research,
and the painstaking mastering work is not the reason to snag this collection up. Indeed, the reason is, this is amazing
music, haunted, hunted, and dangerous. It is akin to rock & roll or the Delta blues but doesn't sound anything
remotely like them. This is otherworldly music drenched in emotions like sorrow, hatred, grief, and desire. This
collection is as highly recommended, and perhaps more so, than its predecessor. ~ Thom Jurek
