Dos mou piso ta louloudia - No name Artist Almost a century away from the era that spawned the urban folk songs, the remixing tracks of this period is a difficult yet attractive project. The comparison with the original versions, which have largely digitized and placed on the market is inevitable. This naturally causes to the musicians a certain degree of embarrassment which rises the deeper they understand the true artistic value of the material and its creators. Apart from the challenge to take up this repertoire is for us a very creative process dictated by personal beliefs and needs, against the mighty rules of operation of today's music reality. It is true that this genre, offered as raw material for creating an environment where the role of the musicians is not limited to the sidekick. Within such an environment, the musician has the freedom and obligation at the same time to show his talent without any obey to the logic of an industry, rigged so that highlights protagonists. Here the musician is able to participate equally in a dialogue, rules which must not only know well and to reconstruct at every opportunity. This moreover is the condition in which these songs were born. Maybe this is the condition that will enable them to continue to run, keeping unchanged the character and dynamics.
