#The commonalities between the DIY cultures of rebetiko and blues
Nassos Polyzoidis

#Abstract
Rebetiko is a style of folk music that originated at the end of the nineteenth century by marginal people in prisons and ports of Greece. It has always been associated with instruments of the bouzouki family yet has been characterised as ‘the blues of Greece’. For economic reasons, early musicians of these traditions collected cans, tins, cigar boxes or turtle shells from the trash, the fields, and prison yards to build their own instruments. Inspired by these musicians, the singersongwriter Georges Pilali attempted to connect the two worlds by mixing their sounds. He covered rebetiko songs by fingerpicking and playing slide on resonator guitar, whereas he performed blues standards on bouzoukobaglamadhes. The similarities of these handmade instruments, accompanied by analysis of two original songs by the author that combine their individual styles, demonstrate the common ground between these two distinct cultures that grew far apart for over a century.
