In and around the 1850..s, in the streets of Smyrna, Asia Minor, the busy neighbourhoods of Istanbul, the corners of the port of Syros, in the working classes of Athens, Piraeus and Salonika, devoted instrumentalists were budding. A few years later, the coming together of the Greek refugees from Asia Minor and the native Greeks gave birth to a novel musical style which eventually became known as rebetiko. On the one hand were the musicians from Smyrna and other cities from Asia Minor, which were extremely sophisticated and which had their superior musical education to boast about. On the other were the bouzouki players of Piraeus accompanying the often hoarse and deep- voiced singers of the teke (clandestine hash dens). Rebetiko reflects the modal tradition that comes from the east, but equally incorporates elements of popular Greek music. In order to tell the story of rebetiko, the Dromos allows the creation of a particular emotional atmosphere and facilitates the expression of certain feelings. Husseini, Hijaz, Piraïotiko, Uzak, Karip... the Taximi subsequently allows the possibilities of the Dromo to be explored. Do you wish to travel? We will continue our story with the songs...
