OLD TURKISH SONG--GREEK LYRICS

[louisetta]

This is a very old Turkish song - Here, MANOLIS AGGELOPOULOS (very famous Greek Gypsy : O MEGALOS TSIGANOS) sings it in Greek - He also has sung it in Turkish... I have used the Turkish version in one of my videos one or 2 years ago - He came to Chicago - I invited him to listen to my Arabic music collection which was a 'small' collection at the time... He knew personally OUM KALSOUM and MOHAMED ABDELWAHAB - Manoli was very fund of Arabic and Turkish music and used to go regularly to Egypt -- He still is singing in Greece as far as I know !

This song, MANOLIA, dates probably from the thirties-forties
origin : TURKISH
MANOLIS AGGELOPOULOS remastered it in TURKISH and, here, in GREEK - MANOLI is one of the MOST FAMOUS SINGERS of Greece since the fifties-sixties - He was surnamed THE GREAT GYPSY (O MEGALOS TZIGANNOS)--A NUMBER OF GREEK GYPSY FAMILIES have been VERY FAMOUS IN GREECE--WERE PART OF THE TOP MUSICIANS !
ALTHOUGH BORN AND RAISED IN GREECE, THESE ARTISTS LEARNT TO PLAY MUSIC SINCE EARLY CHILDHOOD--IT WAS POSSIBLE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THEY WERE GYPSIES ONLY BECAUSE OF THEIR 'SWEET' TECHNIQUE, WHEREAS OTHER MUSICIANS, GREAT AS WELL, PLAYED 'DRY'--THAT IS HOW A SENSITIVE EAR COULD TELL THEY WERE GYPSIES
