All these tracks come from JSP's wonderful catalogue of world music - remarkable cuts mostly taken directly from original 78s. This collection features virtuoso bouzouki and guitar playing from some of Rembetika's finest exponents, examples of Greece's most magnificent male singing, a stunning instrumental by a master of the oud and some outstanding belly dance music from 1927. There's also heart rending, soaring clarinet and haunting iso-polyphony from the hills of Epirus, pure vocal mastery from the Bulgarian hinterland and some ecstatic sounds from Greece's musical heroines. There are a few pioneering artists here - we've kept clear of musicians who dominated various genres and avoided best known tunes. Hence Annitsa Nikolaou's inclusion. Like so many others here, her track is irresistibly charming.
