V.A. / REMBETIKA, GREEK MUSIC FROM THE UNDERGROUND

ギリシャのポピュラー音楽の源流となった20世紀前半のレンベーティカ~そのSP音源コレクション決定盤かつ廉価盤4CDボックス、再入荷しています。クロガネーゼさんのブログで取り上げられ、一部で話題を呼んでいたコレクションですが、“ギリシャのブルース”とも呼ばれる窮民街の哀歌~西アジアからの移民の歌、娼婦の歌、ハシシの歌、ギャングの歌…レンベーティカを、英国の北米戦前ブルース専門レーベルJSPが編集した労作です。トルコからの強制送還を経たスミルナ派、港町の悪所で歌ったピレウス派というレンベーティカの2流派をCD1枚ごとにコンパイルし、ブルース復刻で磨いたマスタリング技術も発揮、従来のギリシャ盤復刻CDよりもイイ音で聴けるところも、嬉しいところ。
