Looking for Some Singers

[Magkisa83]

In light of what may or may not be a death in the musical community, I figured I'd post this. I'm seriously looking for these three singers. I want to find the men not just their songs. I'm posting two videos of each, except the last one. I hope this is okay. I thought it would be a good visual/audio reminder incase the names don't ring any bells for you.

Giannis Lembesis is a personal friend of my bf but he lost his contact info. He's the only person I know of who writes his own rebetika today, along with singing the classics.

(that second one has a really cool skit and nice taximia along with the song.)

Agathonas Iakovidis also sings the classics in the authentic style.

He's not really a rebetis, but I'm looking for Spiros Zagoraios. He's the oldest of the three and my hunch is that he knew a few people.

Oh yeah, and I'm looking for Anna Chrysafi, since I know she's still living and definitely knew a few of the greats in her time. You could try

and see if the song file works there.

I know we could call Stelios Vamvakaris and ask but I really admire him and would hate to bother him over something like this. Talking to him once put me on the moon. *smile*

Thats going to be a tough one and those are some pretty cool songs. Im sure you already checked on the internet to. Maybe someone might be able to help you on here with that but only time will tell. Good luck.

Thanks. It seems that difficult is my speciality. But then again, I looked for an affordable Markos Vamvakaris 78 rpm forseveral years and found one a few months ago, so I guess waiting sometimes pays off. Also, I put up some cool youtube links that you may like. Figured it was best to keep the threads separate.

The first too are appearing in TV very often. All are of the few real rebetes left.

You said you are searching for the men so I searched the internet and I found for you the shops Lembesis and Zagoraios sing.

Giannis Lembesis
KARAVANI
Fokionos Negri & Zakynthou 1, Kypseli, central Athens

Spyros Zagoraios

I could't find about the other two but I know that Agathonas place is at Thessaloniki.
