An experimental remix of the rebetiko song "Ime Prezakias" (="I'm a junkie") by Roza Eshkenazi. 
Between rebetiko and glitch, tradition and disintegration. 
'Psy Trance Jungle Post Dubstep Greek Trad' according to a friend. Let's stay simple and say 'Rebetikcore'.
First try at remixing, and my first contact with Reaper.

Rhapsodia tou Prezakia

Rhapsodia tou prezakia (Junkie's Rhapsody)

This album is a heartfelt musical journey dedicated to the people of Cyprus and the dream of unity on one island. Blending Greek Cypriot, Turkish Cypriot, and the other ethnic groups that shape Cyprus, along international influences, it weaves together traditional melodies, peace songs, and instrumental works to create a cross-cultural tapestry of hope, memory, and togetherness.

The opening track, “Unite (3 Languages)”, sets the tone with a call for harmony across the divide. From the Cypriot folk essence of “Psintri Vasilicha” and “Ehe Via Panagia” (from Constantinople) to the deeply reflective “San Ton Metanasti” (“Like a refugee on your own land”), the album captures both the pain of displacement and the longing for belonging.

Nature and identity shine in “Hrisso Brasino Filo” (“The golden-green tree of Cyprus”), a symbol of the island’s beauty, while resilience is echoed through the world-famous protest song “Bella Ciao,” here sung in Turkish. Instrumental gems like “Scherzo Petahto” (a dance piece) and “Ora Kali” (a traditional wedding song) bring moments of joy and festivity.

International classics are honored as well, with the moving “Schindler’s List” theme—widely recognized as a song of peace—and the serene “Meditation” by Massenet, adding a universal dimension of reflection and healing.

The journey closes with “Eshen Vereve / Dillirga,” a duet of Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot folk traditions intertwined, symbolizing shared roots and the possibility of reconciliation.

Each track speaks to Cyprus’s cultural richness and the enduring desire for peace. This album is not just music—it is a bridge, a dedication to unity, and a tribute to those who believe in living together as one.

Tierra Eterna is a collaborative project by Edvina Fahlqvist and Christos Papasotiriou exploring the social and cultural similarities between two significant traditional music forms: Spanish Flamenco and Greek Rebetiko. They also collaborated with Barcelona-based flamenco singer Laura Mateo for this project.
It investigates the roots of both musical traditions and presents them as an audio narrative highlighting the elements that connect them. The composition’s main idea explores Intangible Heritage and its link to the sounds reflecting each culture’s journey.
Through everyday life, music, and the ephemeral elements that shape our world, the project portrays the realities of these communities. Developing these sounds through new media allows the artists to establish new connections, create fresh interpretations, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of the music.

Presented as part of the final selection in 20 Years of Freesound, Phonos, Barcelona, October 2025
