REBETIKO ELEGIES by Michalis Terzis with Elena Mouzala (piano)

«The truth of rebetiko songs has always moved me. Rebetiko songs – as urban folk music – are directly correlated with byzantine workship hymns, the monophony of our folk songs, shadow theatre, folklore songs and our folklore tradition and culture», Michalis Terzis.
 
Rebetiko Elegies is an attempt to reveal the depth of harmony, the internal melodious wealth, and the rhythmic structure of these wonderful popular songs, as inherited from their own creators but introduced to the scholarly musical philology of Greek contemporary compositions for piano. Rebetiko Elegies is a tribute to their lasting, inspired work of the composers of Rebetiko, which rightfully and everlastingly entered public conscience.
 
Kyriaki Chelioti narrates the history of the songs and its composers while internationally acclaimed Cypriot pianist Elena Mouzala, offers a performance of unique perspective and sound.
