A. KOSTIS ‘White Birds' (aka Kostas Bezos)
Vinyl LP Record
Pressed on black vinyl! - Limited Pressing
Killer Greek Rembetika / Hawaiian music from the 1930s!
You are bidding on a brand new copy of the ‘White Birds’ Lp from the seminal rembeti - ‘A. KOSTIS (Kostas Bezos)!’ This
guy was considered one of the best Greek Rembetiko players!
Now own your very own copy that you can cherish and love and admire
and be considered the envy of all of your friends!
The first-ever compilation of "Xabagies", the nearly forgotten
Hawaiian-influenced music of 1930s Greece, focused on the compositions
of Kostas Bezos and his ensemble White Birds. A world-class slide
guitarist, political cartoonist, and sleepless Bohemian, Kostas Bezos
created some of the most unique music of any era: surrealist guitar
portraits blurring Athens and Honolulu, haunting tropical serenades,
wild acoustic orchestras, and heartbreaking steel guitar duets. LP
version includes a 28 page booklet with extensive notes by Tony Klein
and Dimitri Kourtis, unpublished photographs, lyrics, obituaries, and a
bonus CD containing 18 additional tracks. Mastered from original 78s by
Michael Graves. Co-released by Olvido Records, edition of 1000
