Yiannis Papaioannou - The Myth Of Rebetiko (1997) (4CD Box Set)

Yiannis
Papaioannou was (together with Markos Vamvakaris and Vasilis
Tsitsanis), one of the great pioneers of this special kind of greek folk
songs called "Rebetika". He composed hundreds of legendary songs that
remained timeless among the treasures of the Greek musical pantheon.
This very rare 4CD set, contains original recordings from 1930's of
great Papaioannou's songs, digitally remastered. In the first 3 CDs you
will find genuine interpretations with many rebetiko legends of the
30's, while the 4th is a live recording with Yiannis Papaioanou from the
music hall he performed. The sound quality is the best possible (for
recordings of 30's). An invaluable and touching collector's item.
