Giorgos Katsaros - Giorgos Katsaros (Vinyl)
Barcode: 850024931695

Songs of madness and longing from the Greek underworld - hypnotic acoustic guitar riffs and vocal dirges by the legendary George Katsaros. A living link to the earliest days of Greek rebetika music, Katsaros performed for the Greek Diaspora in America, rising to fame in the early 20th century. He dropped out of view for decades before re-emerging to critical fame and adoration in Greece, living until well into his 90s (or 100s depending on whose timeline you believe).
