legacy, there has never been a book devoted to Greek music in
America until now. Those seeking to learn about this vibrant and
exciting music were forced to seek out individual essays, often
published in obscure or ephemeral sources. This volume provides a
singular platform for understanding the scope, practice, and
development of Greek music in America through essays and profiles
written by principal scholars in the field. Greece developed a rich
variety of traditional, popular, and art music that diasporic
Greeks brought with them to America. In Greek American communities,
music was and continues to be an essential component of most social
activities. Music links the past to the present, the distant to the
near, and bonds the community with an embrace of memories and
narrative. From 1896 to 1942, more than a thousand Greek recordings
in many genres were made in the United States, and thousands more
have appeared since then. These encompass not only Greek
traditional music from all regions, but also emerging urban genres,
stylistic changes, and new songs of social commentary. Greek Music
in America includes essays on all of these topics as well as
history and genre, places and venues, the recording business, and
profiles of individual musicians. This book is required reading for
anyone who cares about Greek music in America, whether scholar,
fan, or performer.
