Μήτσος Γκουλιμάρης και οι Τηγανιτές Πατάτες - Ο Πινόκλης (O Pinoklis)

“O Pinoklis”, performed by Mitsos Gkoulimaris and the French Fries Shot and edited by Yannis Tsoutsounis Mixed and mastered by Mitsos Gkoulimaris Original composition by Dimosthenis Zattas (1928) "Once again, we owe our inspiration for this project to rebetiko guitar master Dimitris Mystakidis and his album “Amerika”, in which he performs early rebetika that were all first recorded in the United States. One of the songs he chose to perform is “O Pinoklis”, first recorded in 1928 in New York by Yannakis Ioannidis. The song tells the story of a man from Piraeus named Tsoklis, who, upon his emigration to New York, fell so deep into gambling, that he acquired a new name, “Pinoklis” (after the card game Pinochle). Many of the songs in “Amerika”, including this one, were originally written for a rebetiko ensemble, featuring instruments such as fiddle, piano, guitar, kanonaki (qanun), and later, the trademark bouzouki. However, Mystakidis chose to perform all these songs in the virtuosic fingerstyle technique known in Greek as “tsimpiti” (“pinched”). This technique, with the assistance of open tunings, allows for a self-accompanied performance, which, although not necessarily the original composer’s intention, makes for a minimal and somber soundscape, perhaps even more appropriate for the heavy and depressing themes that are dealt with in early rebetiko. Like Mystakidis’, this performance is further complemented by a few backup singers, emulating an interaction between the sole musician/performer and his companions. This was likely the setting in which many early rebetika were often performed, among friends, in an attempt to ease the pain of poverty and “xenitia”." -Mitsos Mitsos Gkoulimaris SoundCloud: @dimitris-goulimaris Instagram: @mitsos_music Yannis Tsoutsounis SoundCloud: @yannis-tsoutsounis Instagram: @y_tsoutsounis Thanks for listening
