Annabouboula
Annabouboula〔Etymology: from (ギリシア語:αναμπουμπούλα) "stew".〕
is a Greek-American musical act based in New York City featuring vocalist Anna Paidoussi and producers George Sempepos and Christopher Lawrence. Annabouboula first released records and performed in 1980s and 1990s.
==Musical Influences and Style==
According to its creator, producer Christopher Lawrence, Annabouboula originally was an experiment in applied cultural anthropology. Lawrence wanted to use contemporary New York musicians to record traditional Greek folk music and older Greek popular music as a way to encourage contemporary Greek rock musicians to create new hybrids rather than slavishly imitate non-Greek styles. In late 1985, he recruited Anna Paidoussi, an operatically trained Greek-American singer who was familiar with modern Greek music, to be the Anna for an act he dubbed ''Annabouboula'', which is a Greek expression that means noisy confusion.〔http://www.cdbaby.com/artist/Annabouboula〕 WIth Anna's vocal abilities in mind, Lawrence and co-producer Sempepos selected existing songs and also composed new songs, which were derived from the repertoire of the indigenous Greek genres rembetiko, laika and dhimotika; the band would then set about re-arranging the songs to use contemporary sounds and rhythms associated with contemporary New York synthpop, experimental and post-new wave scenes. In the late 1980s, Annabouboula was one of the first American-based acts that could be categorized as world music or world beat, terms that were first gaining currency at that time. The liner notes of the Shanachie release of ''In the Baths of Constantinople'' say, "What () did was take a traditional belly dance and ''rembetiko'' music (smokey Greek blues) and electrify them, adding a funky rhythm and a wild psychedelic undertow to these dark and moody songs of passion and heartbreak."〔Liner notes by Brian Cullman, eponymous LP, ''Annabouboula,'' Shanachie 64022.〕 A review at Allmusic.com says, "() combines traditional Greek belly-dance music with elements of rock, hip-hop and dance music" 〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-the-baths-of-constantinople-mw0000690456〕 and says of Anna Paidoussi that she may have been raised in the US, but that doesn't stop her from singing passionately in Greek on both originals and daring interpretations of classic Greek rembetiko and bouzouki songs.〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-the-baths-of-constantinople-mw0000690456〕
