Name: Akrogialies Dilina by Imam Baildi
Duration: 3 min 47 s
Description: Samples from “Akrogialies Deilina” (i.e. Beaches – Sunsets) recorded by Tsitsanis in 1948. The singer is Stella Haskil. Given the ‘exotic’ feel of the original track, we thought it would sound nice to arrange it in 1950’s big band / mambo style.

Yeah! Good to hear new stuff from you, guys!

Pasatempos is track no.4 in our first album 'Imam Baildi' (2007). It's a remix of a 1940's rembetiko tune, composed by Manolis Chiotis. The lyrics are about a guy saying his girl treats him like a pasatempos (that's a snack Greeks eat while doing something else, sort of the way you eat pop-corn). He says, you just use me to pass your time (pasa tempo) when in reality you're after someone else and you just use me as backup to make the other guy jealous. And he concludes: leave me if you like, but please just don't let the other guy know that you treated me like this. (which, by the way, totally defeats the stereotype of macho Greek guys, and rightly so...)

O Pasatempos

Samba Clarina is track no 2 on our first album 'Imam Baildi' (2007). It's a mix of gypsy clarinet melodies and samba beats, very danceable (we think). DJ Panko has also remixed the track, this is the original album version.

Samba Clarina

Freedom! Original lebanese song by Marcel KHALIFE.

From the album Radio Babel (2011) on Piranha Musik.

عصفور.....
« Don't be afraid, » I said 
Straighten up to see the sun rising 
It wondered at the forest 
And saw the waves of freedom Dazzling. 
It saw wings rippling beyond the iron-clad doors 

It saw the forest gliding 
On the wings of freedom.

Akrogialies Dilina

Vocals: Eleni Tsaligopoulou, rhymes: Eisvoleas.

Music and lyrics based on the original 1935 track. The lyrics are about a nargile (hookah) that goes out each time a girls tries to smoke. The girl interprets that as a sign that her lover is not satisfied by her. Eisvoleas came up with the idea to combine the track with hip hop rhymes about hash (and love) and Eleni sang the original lyrics.

LYRICS
Foghorn calling 
Thought I spied a ship at the harbour gate
Saw the mooring 
When the anchor dropped with the iron weight

Where there’s a will there’s a wanting
Where there a heart there’s something
Where there’s a will there’s a wanting
A hand to hope
A hope to hold 
To drag forth the darkness from you

Heard a whispering 
With the ballot cast on the judgement floor
Heard a wailing 
When the word was called it was called no more

Where there’s a wish there’s a yearning 
Where there’s a turn there’s burning
Where there’s a wish there’s a yearning 
A hand to hope
A hope to hold 
To call forth the darkness from you

Ship is leaving 
When the bell will toll it’ll toll for you
No denying
When the log is lost it can’t be true

Where there’s a will there’s a wanting
Where there a heart there’s something
Where there’s a will there’s a wanting
A hand to hope
A hope to hold 
To drag forth the darkness from you

Foghorn calling 
Foghorn calling 
Foghorn calling 
Foghorn calling 
Foghorn calling 
Foghorn calling 

Where there’s a will there’s a wanting
Where there a heart there’s something
Where there’s a will there’s a wanting
A hand to hope
A hope to hold 
To drag forth the darkness from you
