Music Video "Rembetika" by Lisa Gerrard

[mak2sta]

βρε πιστοβλιακες ολοι σας που δε σας κοβει ντιπ καθολου με τον τιτλο "ρεμπετικα" η καλλιτεχνιδα

δεν θελει να χαρακτηρισει τη μουσικη που ακουγεται!

"ρεμπετικα" εχει ονομασει το βιντεο κλιπ(καθαρα και μονο το βιντεο) και οχι τη μουσικη που ακουγεται.και αυτο το εκανε γιατι ο σκηνοθετης εχει δωσει ενα ιδιαιτερο υφος στο βιντεο που θυμιζει εικονες της αρχης του 20ου αιωνα (δηλαδη γυρω στα 1910) δηλαδη της εποχης που πρωτοεμφανιστηκε το αστικο ρεμπετικο

This is not Greek Rembetika...I don't know what it is, not criticizing it, but it's not Greek Rembetika...I agree with someone here, find another name in your "language" to call it...

[MsGk100]

@431Anna this is not Greek..not at all..this is more Turkish...look at the faces..are Turkish Greeks not looking like that.......but on the other hand this is ART...that;s what Lisa Gerrard feels like when she thinks of Greek music...ok acceptable!

[nethead0]

re anthropooi aftos einai o titlos, cryptoracist leei o allos...

[irida2001]

This has nothing to do with hellenic rebetico... You should name it another name.

You are cryptoracist against hellenic people.

[wolfsd24]

very good but isn't rempetiko

[LaRoSaJoLie]

did you make the movie, or where is this film from ?

it is very intruiging !*

and thank you, i love lisa gerard, this is one of my favs of her <3 < 3<3

[MissSaracroche]

3 idiot

[fremmed1]

Is this from an album?

[smasklo]

the real rembetika comes from thessalia -peireas-and thessaloniki.rembetika is the roots off rock music and way of living..if u search (not only internet) you will find rembetika and smirneika since 1900 and earlier ,and their lyrics are about "rock" life...talking about drugs , women and fighting wth knifes mostly and describing their everyday living...anyway lisa has a divine way of singing

[Nickbully]

if you study old Greek songs, either from the islands or the mountians you will feel alot of similarities between Greeks, Easterners and even Native Americans, the very strong soul sounding chants from it. Greek Byzantine music is a good example in their authentic versions, and for the Greek folk music, those from Pontos,Epiros,Crete, really heavy and soul kind of sounds. and btw good video :)

[ethomfactusest]

This is such wonderful Jungian symbolism. Discovery, realising, releasing, integrating, searching, sometimes "enslaving" the inner child. Wonderful interplay between the animus, anima and child, ALL the symbols are here. Really great stuff. Seeing self through the child,. wow one could on forever. Good work to who ever created this. Lisa is a gem.

[AnnaKst]

I am Greek and this is not rembetica but it' s very nice anyway..

[amtrakjackson]

We realize this isn't actual Rembetika... note the statement "INSPIRED by," above, please. No need to belabor the point, everyone.

Just enjoy the song ! :D

[PoseidonGRE]

we didn't expect to be actually rembetica

Personaly i don't find common elements in this song with rembetica,proving its influence and its inspiration.Its feeling is absolutely eastern far away from the anatolian flavor of rembetica.But the song is realy great.A masterpiece

[Templarium]

This doesn't sound like the rembetiko I know.

[RAKIKAVUNBEYAZPEYNIR]

rembetika is anatolian greeks music. songs lyric greek and turkish. selam from istanbul.

[seansalvador1]

she sings in her own language which is built from others

[gothexperiments]

[enkidu1982gr]

[golemschmolem]

geia sas magkes!!!

[moupriksate]

if you want to hear real rembetiki music type " markos bambakaris"

[WaftyHippyLass]

Wow - I just went to find some of his stuff, and that's what it's really about. Reminds me what being Greek feels like - I'm only a quarter Greek and sometimes I forget. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

[DrPhalangi]

Lisa has a bouzouki (greek instrument) player who is from Greece with her for decades now, I think he may have something to do with this beautiful "multicultural " song....

[HELLENIGMA]

neither the song nor the video is really Rembetika really... unfortunately.

[damedesmontagnes]

what a painfully slow buildup. I liked it once it got to the upbeat part :) I want to sing like that. Truly.

[dellerbasalvtore]

powerful imagery and fantastic music.

[gothexperiments]

im greek and i adore lisa and this song

[Gesmehod]

Wow, I only heard the word "Rembetika" earlier today, it's amazing how much it resonates with me already.

[amtrakjackson]

beautiful video, and one of my favorite songs!!! Thanks for sharing.

[hgljshfr]

thnx for posting and sharing

i love her voice, she is amazing

[oughterard87]

I love it! It's pretty yet haunting at the same time - like a lot of Lisa Gerrard's songs are. Thanks so much for posting!

[JoyMadrugada]

Rembetika is a kind of Greek folk music

[striveandreceive]

First of all wrong tag. This is not Rembetika. This is a mixture of oriental-Arabic music of some sort. Rembetika is a form of Greek music that originated on the Minor Asia coast before the 1922 Minor Asia disaster, when nearly 2 mill. Greeks were violently expelled by the Turks from their ancestral homes. Rembetika then flourished in mainland Greece after the 1920s and was mainly sung by the outcasts and in underground clubs. This is rembetika /watch?v=wPPrZrqOljQ&feature=r­elated

[chkan73]

Why the "hispanic" tag?
