Road to Rembetika: music of a greek sub-culture, songs of love, sorrow and hashish
ISBN: 9789607120076 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The rembetika, songs that were sung in the poor quarters of Smyrna, Istanbul and the ports of Greece in the late nineteenth century, and became the popular bouzouki music of the 1930s to 1950s, have many parallels with American blues.

"The women took turns to dance in a frenzy, each trying to outdo the other. Deep Song always sings in the night, Lorca had written. It was the credo of the flamenco: a rejection of the mundane, the ordinary, the life of the everyday man, embracing, rather, an extreme world extreme passions, extreme feelings, the extremes of life and death. And it was a way of life I wanted to believe in its excitement, its danger, the affirmation it gave you that you were different, and alive.

Migrating Music
ISBN: 9780415594486 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Migrating Music considers the issues around music and cosmopolitanism in new ways.

In this context, this book affirms the centrality of music as a mode of translation and cosmopolitan mediation, whilst also pointing out the complexity of the processes at stake within it. Migrating music, it argues, represents perhaps the...
