The Greek Songs of Yesterday |

The songs heard in these records were recorded in the 1920s - 1950s and give the best example of the artists of that time. The orchestras and singers were at their best. Although most of the artists are now deceased their music can now live on because some collectors have preserved the old recordings - through special techniques they are brought to you in perfect sound - whether you just listen or dance these songs should bring back memories for the older folks - and provide a fine example of older Greek music for the younger ones. |
