Bezos, Kostas -& The White Birds-
Kostas Bezos & The White Birds
The first-ever compilation of Xabagies, the nearly forgotten Hawaiian-influenced music of 1930s Greece, focused on the
compositions of Kostas Bezos and his ensemble The White Birds. A world-class slide guitarist, political cartoonist and
sleepless Bohemian, Kostas Bezos created some of the most unique music of any era: surrealist guitar portraits blending
Athens and Honolulu, haunting tropical serenades, wild acoustic orchestras and heartbreaking steel guitar duets.
Included are a 28-page booklet with extensive notes by Tony Klein and Dimitri Kourtis, unpublished photographs, lyrics,
obituaries and a bonus CD containing 18 additional tracks. Mastered from original 78s, this release is limited to 1.000
copies.
