Markos Vamvakaris
Death Is Bitter
In stock
€30.00
Twelve of the heaviest early tracks by the master of rebetika music. Markos Vamvakaris sings from the hash dens of the Greek ports of the 1930’s. Mournful, poetic, bitter music of love and long nights. These recordings, incredibly rare and expertly remastered, mark the height of rebetika, the brief period between the music’s emergence on the recording scene in the early ’30s and government censorship of all lyrics starting in 1936.
