1	A Portrait (1998) more music like this by George Dalaras see all copies from $8.23! new only from $8.23!
2	The Rough Guide to Rebetika (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Rebétika is probably the best known of the Greek folk music forms, the sound of the downtrodden and the underdogs (hence its comparisons to American blues, although musically there are no similarities). From its initial emergence in the early 19th century, it remained a force in the country until the 1950s, and was revived again in the 1970s, and ... see all copies from $7.39! new only from $7.39!
3	The Rough Guide to the Music of Greece (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This welcome addition to the Rough Guide catalog shines a light on a country whose music has largely been ignored internationally, and proves that, within the borders of Greece, the musical traditions are complex and marvelously rewarding. Thankfully it's not solely focused on modern-day artists, but frames them in the context of the past, with ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $9.44!
4	The Mighty Aphrodite (1995) more music like this by Original Soundtrack see all copies from $2.95! new only from $11.12!
5	Rembetica: Historic Urban Folk Songs From Greece (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This is a welcome collection. There are some musical and conceptual cavils, but each is more than balanced by a strength. Some of the cuts are far from their singers' best, and The Papaioannis piece is plain unworthy. But there's a great deal of fine music from unfamiliar as well as familiar artists (including the first recorded bousouki solo -- ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $14.52!
6	Rembetika: Greek Music from the Underground (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Thanks to the crazy music fans at JSP in England comes this packed four-disc overview of rembetika, the true music of Greece's underworld. Rembetika has an interesting history. Its origins are not exactly known, and are traced back in various labyrinthine ways to the mid-19th century. In 1911, the word "rembetico" appeared on a record label, and ... see all copies from $22.49! new only from $25.71!
7	Great Voices of Constantinople: 1927-1933 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Rare popular 78s recorded in Athens and Constantinople in the late '20s and early '30s, most of the 23 tracks attributed to Andonios Dalgas (who recorded in Athens and sang in Greek) or Hafiz Burhan (who recorded in Constantinople and sang in Turkish). The title is a bit misleading; it's a combination of vintage Greek and Turkish music, not solely ... see all copies from $11.09! new only from $14.74!
8	Rembetiko & Popular Music from Greece (1998) more music like this by The Athenians see all copies from $8.89! new only from $12.20!
9	Greece (2004) more music like this by The Athenians see all copies from $5.87! new only from $9.67!
10	Greek-Oriental Rebetica-Songs & Dances in the Asia Minor Style:The Golden Years 1911-1 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This is a wonderful introduction to one of the great 20th-century urban musics. Not only does it include both famous names (Papasideris and Abatsi, who are widely reissued elsewhere) and names otherwise entirely obscure, but it has excellent notes in English. It's even more important now that the Greek EMI recordings have become so hard to find. ... see all copies from $12.21! new only from $15.33!
11 view cover	Canto General (2002) more music like this by The Athenians see all copies from $10.22! new only from $10.22!
12 view cover	Bouzouki Pioneer: 1932-1940 (1998) more music like this by Markos Vamvakaris Twenty-three tracks, all original songs written by Vamvakaris either by himself or in collaboration with others. Twenty-three bouzouki songs at once can bring to mind the famous Monty Python cheese shop sketch, where John Cleese's patience finally snaps after five or so minutes of good-naturedly putting up with the bouzouki musicians in the ... see all copies from $11.50! new only from $18.07!
13 view cover	The Secrets of the Rocks (2002) more music like this by Kristi Stassinopoulou The Secrets of the Rocks is the second album on Tinder from Kristi Stassinopoulou, a Greek singer with a penchant for fusion with American trends in music. Here, she continues the fusion she started in Echotropia, with an emphasis on the mysticism of the sea, islands, and beaches of her native Greece. The influences of American and British ... see all copies from $5.27! new only from $31.48!
14 view cover	I/O (2005) more music like this by Angéla see all copies from $69.01! new only from $69.01!
15 view cover	Greek Songs Dances and Rembetiko (1999) more music like this by The Athenians The Athenians' Greek Songs, Dances and Rembetiko is exactly what the title says: a collection of traditional-style Greek folk and rembetiko music, played with a high degree of instrumental virtuosity. The ten tracks here offer a variety of moods and settings, making for a nicely paced listen. Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.18! new only from $7.18!

21 view cover	Rembetika 2: More of the Secret History of Greece's Underground Music (2008) more music like this by Various Artists Great Britain's JSP label took a chance in 2006 by issuing a four-disc overview of rembetika (the "officially designated" Greek underground and criminal communities) called Rembetika: Greek Music from the Underground. It was official because at one point in the 20th century, the music was actually officially banned by the Metaxas government (in ... see all copies from $20.52! new only from $25.71!
22 view cover	Rembetika 3: Vassilis Tsitsanis 1936-1940 (2008) more music like this by Vassilis Tsitsánis Great Britain's JSP label is well known as a purveyor of great jazz and blues music and, more recently, bluegrass. Their multiple-disc sets are usually sold for a song (due to much more liberal copyright limitation laws in the United Kingdom, which are great if you're a consumer and really bad if you're an artist). That said, who would have ... see all copies from $36.11! new only from $36.11!
