Rebetiko, the "Greek Blues" - This Is How We Do It
Soundscapes Vol.6 - An Audiovisual Compilation
Ask a friend who’s been here about us Greeks, and they’ll probably tell you that we know how to “party.”
Well, we do. But what we say about ourselves is that we know how to live.
Rebetiko is one expression of this attitude—of the Greek soul’s approach to life. It’s an attitude that truly embraces the full spectrum of the human experience: death, joy, work, love, sorrow, migration, war, the mother figure, friendship, and every other theme relevant to the human condition, both sad and joyful.
In 2017, rebetiko was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
Okay, friends—no more written words.
Let the music speak!
Thanks for the read and the word. Life is dance. Thanks for the culture information, dance is communication that everyone understands. Until then, OPA!
