American Blues Meets Greek Rebetiko, New York University Course
From Greek Reporter: "New York University announced last week that it will offer a new class exploring the historical origins of Greek Rebetiko and American Blues — and focusing on how the two musical genres intertwine in so many different ways. The course, titled “Songs of the Underdog: American Blues Meets Greek Rebetiko,” will be offered for the spring 2020 semester under the auspices of the Consulate General of Greece in New York City".
A pity this isn't an online course.
I didn't think that the jams with Louisiana Red and Stelios Vamvakaris were that successful. Better to appreciate the two genres separately.
