That's funny; a couple of weeks ago at the Jack Wright/Bob Marsh show at Bela Dubby, they set up some chairs in a line by the wall,
and I said it reminded me of the way the players in the movie "Rembetika" were sitting...their set didn't sound like Rembetika, though...

An hour and a half of rare, vintage music from around the world and
the amazing stories behind the songs.

Ian Nagoski is a musicologist and the founder of Canary Records. His
avocation is inspiring people who love music to love it more.

In 2007 Ian released Black Mirror, a collection of gripping folk and
devotional music recorded between 1918 and 1954 in Syria, Bali,
Scotland, Yugoslavia, Cameroon, and a dozen or so other countries on
Grammy-winning Dust-to-Digital label; Baltimoreâ��s City Paper called it
â��enigmatic, transfixing, haunting, pretty, and just plain odd,â��
Pitchfork gave it an 8.6, AllMusic gave it a 5/5, and the Kronos
Quartet began performing a piece from it. The academic journal
Ethnomusicology lauded it as an exceptional collection, despite having
been made for the general public.

Nagoski followed Black Mirror with A String of Pearls, on his own
label, Canary Records (manufactured and distributed by Mississippi
Records of Portland, OR) and released a licensed vinyl version of the
ARKO CD Mortika: Recordings From a Greek Underworld, compiled by
Charles Howard and annotated by Tony Klein. The album includes music
from the pre-WWII Greek underworld of outlaws, hash smokers, and
smooth operators. Canaryâ��s upcoming releases include surveys of
superlative recordings of the singers Marika Papagika and Abdul Karim
Khan, and the music of American immigrants from the Ottoman Empire.

Ian is also a writer, who has contributed to dozens of magazines and
blogs, including a recently-published feature on under-the-radar
ethnic record stores in Baltimore as well as infrequent posts at the
Arthur blog. And he is the host of the radio show Fonotopia:
