Description

Discover a rare piece of musical history with this captivating 10-inch shellac record featuring the legendary Greek soprano, Marika Papagika. This Columbia Viva-tonal Recording, produced with an Electrical Process, showcases the unique vocal artistry that made Papagika a prominent figure in early 20th-century Greek music. The record features the tracks "ΓΑΛΑΤΑ ΜΑΝΕΣ (Galata Manes)" on one side and "MANAKI MOY (Manakimou - Zabekikos)" on the other, both performed with orchestral accompaniment, offering a glimpse into the vibrant Greek popular song tradition of the era. This particular pressing stands out with its striking deep blue shellac, a unique and highly collectible feature that sets it apart from standard black pressings.

Released by Columbia Phonograph Company, Inc. in the U.S.A., this 78 RPM record carries the catalog number 56033-F, indicating its place within Columbia's extensive catalog of ethnic recordings. Marika Papagika, known for her powerful voice and emotive performances, was instrumental in popularizing Greek folk and rebetiko music in America. This record is not just an auditory experience but a tangible artifact from a bygone era, representing a significant cultural contribution and a testament to the pioneering recording techniques of the time. A must-have for collectors of early Greek music, world music, or rare colored shellac pressings.
