This is a beautiful old Greek song from the ''Rebetiko'' era back from 1936.
The composer is Kostas Roukounas the lyrics is written by Giorgos Rovertakis and executed by the voice of Georgia Myttaki.
I have the original version and i must say that the A Hawk And A Hacksaw respect that version and left the Greek lyrics and Georgia's voice untouchable. well done mages :)
Beznozhka is right this is a very old rebetiko song.Actually this remix sounds pretty close to the genuine.As far as i can tell the vocals are taken from another version of this song not from the original.This ain't the first remix of a Greek rebetiko song from "a hawk and a hawksaw".Foni tu argile was also a remix.Really nice job though to bring to the light such old and lost songs of rebetiko...
@dobbsiancant And Chris Hladowski (of Nalle, Scatter and Family Elan fame). I believe his superb bazouki work here deserves a mention. Same applies to 'The Loser (Xeftilis)', last song on this album.
great work,jeremy and heather and,of course stephanie.is this an original composition?it sounds a bit like the old laiko 'mantalio (mantelena)' which i remember being sung by the immortal haris alexiou (not like she's dead or anything) and i think maybe by marika papagika or rosa eskenazi (both immortal and quite dead)?
