I was listening to a set of Rebetika (kinda like Greek Blues), and I thought I'd share an incredible tune from the set. "Minore Tou Teke" (a song to a hash den -teke- in a minor key)which was the first important solo bouzouki performance on record. It was recorded in New York (!) not in Greece, by Ioannis Halkias (who was listed on the label as Jack Gregory), in 1932. In the early days, Rebetika were closely associated with hashish dens, coffee houses, tavernas and other urban dives. There is a comprehensive (and fairly accurate) article on Wikipedia (type in Rebetiko if you're interested).
Here's the music, Halkias/Gregory on bouzouki, Mikelides on guitar:
