MARIKA PAPAGIKA



recorded some of most beautiful, haunting and rebellious music ever between the years of 1919 and 1928. We first heard her sing on the excellent compilation 'I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore' which was Mississippi records 013 if you believe the cover or 014 if you prefer to put your trust in the etching on the record itself. Their were also songs on 'Black Mirror: reflections in Global Music' on Dust-to-Digital and the amazing compilation of Rebetika  (rembetika) 'MORTIKA' also on Mississippi who are now releasing a whole LP entitled 'The Further The Flame, The Worse It Burns Me', containing all known recordings with a booklet containing all known photographs and translations of the controversial ( which were illegal in Greece). We could not recommend an album any more than this. Buy it now from Honest Jons or wherever you can find it.
