Musical Odyssey - June 17, 2007

The playlist is here.

I played an old Dionyssis Savopoulos favorite song of mine "Hileler" during the show.

I was checking on Youtube, there aren't many Savopoulos videos up yet (I say yet because I hope that soon more will be posted). Here is one of him with Sotiria Bellou. It is followed by another singer doing a very good interpretation of the song Rebetiko, I have to plead ignorance as to who she is, if anyone knows please post a comment and let me know.
