	Greek Rembetika Music
		Rembetika were urban blues of a quasi-criminal subculture, despised my the middle classes and suppressed by the authorities.
		Though some of the original Rembetika musicians had died before this period due to overdoses, tuberculosis and the general stress of the lifestyle, many became stars, recorded records, toured and generally did not have trouble finding work until the sixties when it gave way to newer forms of bouzouki-based music, superficially reminiscent of the Rembetika.
		There are late rembetika and laika musicians who became popular and traded in their hash pipes for Mercedes and began writing in a style to maintain their popularity introducing new elements and gradually muddied the waters which seperated the two forms of music.

		Rembetika seems to be the Greek cultural equivalent to Spanish Flamenco, Portuguese Fado, to Latin American Tango/Mambo/ChaChaCha/Cumbia or to American Blues.
