Years of research and obsession have resulted in this, the ﬁrst collection of recordings by the legendary and masterful Greek folk violinist Alexis Zoumbas. Very few pre-war musicians have tapped deeper into the human soul than Zoumbas and this volume presents his most profoundly hypnotic and unearthly pieces, all recorded in New York City from 1926-1928.  A deep set of notes is accompanied by previously unpublished photographs as well as original art-work by R. Crumb. Respectfully crafted by Christopher King and Susan Archie for Angry Mom Records.

A Long Gone Sound Production for Angry Mom Records. AMA-04.

Part of the “How The Other Half Hears” Sound Series.

LYRICS: 

To begin or to remain 
All the questions of the day 
We are just beginning 
There's a smile in your eyes 
What will we find? 

Turn it all around 
Flip that frown upside down 
Let it beat like a drum 
Oh be good and be young. 

Oh we're to save the day 
We are gone and on our way 
Light it up and let us go 
To the stars and to the moon 
Start it up we'll be there soon 

Turn it all around 
Flip that frown upside down 
Let it beat like a drum 
Oh be good and be young. 

Behind those eyes
Behind those lies 

Turn it all around 
Flip that frown upside down 
Let it beat like a drum 
Oh be good and be young. 

Longue Haleine
