BBC Documentary on Rebetika Part 4

[aporia82]

aaah the big wooden fisherman boats of istanbul in 1:24. . it's been long they have extincted :((

[sahhaf1234]

Hashis somking "is not openly accepted in turkey". Like greece, it is associated with underworld and lower classes. Also, I think the narrator misunderstood a point. Nargile is not a device to smoke hashish. Peoope use it mostly to smoke tobacco. I do not know the old times, but its current use seems to be limited to tourists.

[Elberoin]

He speaks of 1920s not 2000.

And the sultans(and the kind) used Nargile mostly for hashis.

Never the less you have missed the hole point of the documentary.

[Dan1988A]

What is the English translation of this song?

[khajisavva]

Παίζει το μπαγλαμαδάκι και χορεύω ζεμπεκάκι

Φέρτε μου το λουλαδάκι για να πιω αργελεδάκι

Μια και βρέθηκα μαζί σας θα φουμάρω στο τσαρδί σας

Pezi to baglamadaki ke horevo zembekaki

Ferte mu to luludaki ya na pio aryeledaki

mia ke vrethika mazi sas tha fumaro sto tsardi sas

[khajisavva]

The baglama is playing and i'm dancing zembekiko

bring me the bowl* i'm going to drink** aryile

since we're sat here together i will smoke in your house

* The bowl of the aryile (loulas) is the top bit where you put the tobacco (or optionally the hashish, or both).

** Drink here means smoke.
