ACE compilation of χαβάγιες ("havagies"), the nearly forgotten Hawaiian-influenced music of 1930s Greece, focused on the compositions of Kostas Bezos and his ensemble 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.
Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet with detailed historical, biographical and discographical information. All material transferred from rare original 78s recorded in Athens between 1928-1937. Restored and mastered from original 78s by Michael Graves
