If you're looking specifically for rebetika played on guitar then try listening to Dimitris Mystakidis.

Sokratis Malamas and Ioulia Karapataki

Thodoris Kotonias with Christina Maria Lazarou

Kadinelia - crossover between Greek traditional music and Americana - which is a bit odd tbh

 

[cloudyday]

Simon Fisher Turner's soundtrack for Jarman's Caravaggio is well worth a listen, various instruments including guitar across the album.

 

[Flavour]

Lots of greek and portuguese stuff on this thread, especially like the greek stuff. South of Italy has tons too but I guess never considered cool by the london-based compilation-curation crowd. whatever.









To be considered separately and tbh worthy of its own thread is the Neapolitan Popular music of times past, La Canzone Napoletana.



SERGIO BRUNI -- NA SERA 'E MAGGIO .wmv

Mario Abbate - Catena

Maruzzella

Or for that matter there's the music of Greek speakers from the south of Italy.
