About the song
Mikis Theodorakis once said "Very few Rebetiko-songs are musically valuable". Nevertheless, he spent many years enhancing selected Rebetiko songs, transforming them into his own very distinctive music style.
In a vaguely similar way, this song is a radical enhancement of a Rebetiko song, with major-chord harmonies added. The Greek title is "Psila htise ti folia" (Build your nest high).
The purpose of this radical remake is experimental:
Arabic scales in certain Rebetiko songs can often be transformed into something intriguingly joyful.
