Giota Gianna - Ο Άμλετ της σελήνης (Στην υγειά μας) {17/11/2018}
Giota Gianna was a fascinating musician and singer from Greece whose harmonica playing reminds me of some of their more usual folk instruments. She was active most of her life as a nightclub performer and I think actress, but was recorded only in her 80's. I'm not super familiar with the kind of music she's doing here but there's a lot of Greek nightclub stuff that's a little like the equivalent of American blues- I've seen translations of some of these songs and they're super emotional. I've also seen quite a few Greek TV clips of stuff like this, where they often seem to focus on how much the audience is moved by the intensity. She's probably 80 in this performance. I don't speak Greek but I copy-pasted various stuff into Translate and found a whole rabbit hole of this kind of singing from other artists. The harmonica part is pretty unique to her I think.
