520 _a"Rembetika, the music which began in the jails and the hashish-dens of Greek towns and became the popular bouzouki music of the 30s's, 40's and 50's, has many parallels with American blues. Like the blues, the rembetika songs were the soul music of a group of people who felt themselves to be outside the mainstream of society, who developed their own slang and their own forms of expression. 'Road to Rembetika' is the first book in English to attempt to a general survey of the world of the 'rembets', who smoked hashish while they played the bouzouki and danced the passionate 'zembekiko' to release their emotions. It is an enthusiastic introduction to the subject, written by an Australian musician who first came to Greece in 1965 and has been interested in Greek music ever since." -- From the book jacket.
