Roza sings Turkish (& Greek of course) Greek Turkish Songs

The great Greek Jewish singer Roza Eskenazi born in Ottoman Constantinople was the most prolific recording artist in the decade of the 1930s in Greece. Although she recorded a few songs in Turkish at that time most of her recordings of Turkish language songs were done in her later career in the 1950s and 1960s. Previous, most of the Turkish repertoire of her youth would be recorded with Greek lyrics, some of which became very popular and among the established "classics", even today, e.g. Kanarini, Hariklaki.

Rosa was originally an Ottoman subject, her religion was Jewish. She was most likely Sephardic, as she sung in Ladino as well as Turkish & Greek!! Long live her memory! Poor soul died broke

Roza sang in Ladino? The only song I have which might indicate that is "Evraiopoula" with Giorgo Vidalis in which she speaks a few Ladino lines, otherwise I don't know of any Ladino recordings by her. If you have any, let me know, Please

[romeikos2]

That certainly sounds like it

Old Turkish and Greek songs are very similar.

Some of the music are the same songs, words similar.

Two different sides of the Aegean Sea in the two neighboring countries that are very similar to each other. Food that even looks like.

no borders for the people

Stop calling Greek anything,anyone belong to Ottoman culture..

Remember what dictator Metaxas done to rebetika singers and the ones who speak Turkish as a native language after they moved over there and humiliated with calling "giaurvaftizmenoi-yogurt baptismals" by the locals!!

You like or not Roza is one of the best Jewish originated Turkish singer of late Ottoman era,thanks to the imperial tolerance of Ottoman Turks...

Food that will be exotic and tasty to an American.

I'm going to those countries, and I want to eat their tasty food and taste their wine.
