VA - Greek Folk Composers: Giorgos Zabetas Live (FLAC) (4 CDs BoxSet)

Rare
live recording of the great composer, virtuoso bouzouki player and
charismatic showman, Giorgos Zabetas and his musical team, at the
music-hall "Ximeromata" (Daybreak) in 1972. He was extremely popular at
the time and it was very difficult for his numerous fans to reserve a
table at the music-halls where he performed. The first 3 CD of the set
contain the live recording. Almost 2 hours with the legendary
"atmosphere" of Zabetas and his unparalleled bouzouki improvisations.
The 4th CD is a superb parade of great bouzouki instrumentals by
Zabetas, never released in other recordings. Enjoy a unique musical
experience.
Giorgos Zabetas, Greek music composer, singer and one of
the greatest bouzouki artists of all time was born in Metaksourgio of
Athens, on the 25th of January 1925. His parents were Mihalis Zampetas, a
barber and Marika Moraiti, niece of a well-known baritone of those
years. From a very young age, Zampetas showed a great interest in music:
as he was helping his father in his barber shop, he secretly played his
first melodies on a bouzouki. Anything that was producing sound seemed
exciting to him and helped him in his compositions, as he said in his
biography not long before he died. In 1932, as a 7 year old first
grader, he won his first prize, playing his first song in a school
competition.

He is arguably considered as one of the most
influential and charismatic bouzouki players to have ever played the
instrument. He was only 6 years old when he picked up his first
bouzouki. At the time his father had the bouzouki hanging on the wall of
his barber shop and the young Zabetas had to stand on a stool in order
to reach the instrument. He never obtained any formal musical training
and he was self taught on the instrument. Zabetas quickly became
renowned for his bouzouki playing skills. He composed his first song in
1952. It was titled "San simera". Throughout his illustrious career he
appeared in numerous theatrical plays and motion pictures. Zabetas
became seriously ill in the winter of 1992. His doctor at the time told
his relatives that he was going to pass away given that he had smoked "3
factories worth of cigarettes". Zabeta never really strived for riches
and fame. He always poured his entire heart and soul into his playing
and his compositions. Giorgos Zabetas passed away on March 10, 1992.
