About 'The
Rebetissa' Web Site:
This site was created and
maintained [but not very often!] by an admirer of rebetika and rebetisses who did research in Greece in the late 1980's to early 1990's on the lives and work of
of the Rebetisses - the women who sing the rebetiko
tragoudi.
The project involved participant observation and socio-historical research for a
PhD in the Dept. of Anthropology, University College, University
of London [unfinished]. The main aim of this website is to contribute to the information
available about the rebetiko tragoudi on the web. There
is very little information about the involvement of women in the
production of the rebetiko and the more serious student of
the genre may be disappointed with the relative lack of a critical view
in the various histories of the style available on the Web. We hope that this site will be useful as well as entertaining.
Thanks for visiting!
