Romeikos, this is irrelevant but I'm sure you can answer my question. Can you please check the website of the upcoming Roza Eskenazi documentary and tell me the name of the unbelievably amazing song that plays in the background? i think it's about izmir/smyna but I'm not sure. here is the link to the site: mysweetcanaryDATcom

@Neferkal

the song, an "amanes", is "Chronia Polla Sou Efchome" and was one of many songs she recorded in Istanbul in circa 1953 during a tour organized by the owner of the New York based Balkan Record Co. She was accompanied by both Greek and Turkish musicians, among whom was the famous clarinetist heard here, Sukru Tunar. The song does not mention Izmir/smyrna

I'm from Turkey but I must admit I prefer to listen to Turkish songs from Greek singers. They sing it from the heart. Long live the brotherhood of Greeks and Turks no matter what the loosers say from both countries.

Before the exchange (the early 19th century) was the Greek quarter of Usak. This information passes through the Ottoman and foreign sources. Now this land is my family there as refugees from Thessaloniki and Crete (Küçük Çarşı district). I went to school the structure of an ancient church, Halit Ziya Elementary School. Unfortunately, very little written source on this history. You have done we did not make us. Thank you for labour romeikos2.

Bunları niye yazdım,çünkü uşak küçük bir yer olmasına rağmen,gelişmiş sanayisi,açık düşünceli,kültürlü ve medeni insanlara sahip,4 yıl üniversitesinde okumuş biri olarak özellikle turizm alanında,sonra da futbol takımının hak ettiği yerlere gelmesi şart...

[izmirizm]

Bazı uşaklı arkadaşların yorumları uşakı tanımadıklarını gösteriyor,demişler ki,uşakta rumun ne işi var,5 yıldır uşakta yaşayan ve uşağın her yerini gezmiş biri olarak şunu söylemeliyim ki,evet bugün rum yok ama,bundan 100 yıl önce uşakta yaşayan her 6 kişiden 1 tanesi rum idi,bugünkü ünalan mahallesi ve eski çarşı civarında hala ayakta duran bir sürü eski rum evi var,bundan utanılacak bir şey yok,aksine bu evler restore edilip,ki bazıları ediliyor,turizme kazandırılmalıdır...

As a native Turkish man from Usak I liked the song very much.As it is said in the song old Usak girls were skilful and productive.I lived my childhood in Küçükçarşı.Our house was a Greek building.In 1978 by chance I met a 65years old lady in Selanik, she run a buffet on the street.She told me that she moved from Usak as a 13year old girl.Her father's name was Haşhaşyağcı Dimit.If she passed away I hope she rests in peace.She treated me like a fellow citizen & invited me to their quarter(mehelle)
