专辑简介

The Rembetika Hipsters are a Greek music ensemble based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In 2013 we met and began collaborating with Racheal Cogan, a respected recorder player and singer who had previously worked with the Cretan music legend Ross Daly and with Cirque Du Soleil. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Racheal now resides in Montreal. Recently we recorded two traditional Greek songs featuring Racheal's voice and recorder. "Tzivaeri" (My Precious) is a popular song originating from the Dodecanese, dealing with the hardships of Greek immigrants abroad and the family members left behind. "Sergiani.." (A Walk in Sergiani) is a processional song that we learned from the repertoire of the great Greek folklorist Donna Samiou, which is in 7/8 time.
