Description

This is the story of the Greek punk-rock album Kefali Gemato Hrisafi (Virgin, 1996) co-narrated through the voices of all the former members of Tripes and their memories of its recording and production. It delves into Tripes’ creative imagination and their experiences of recording the double LP that marked, among others, what is widely labeled as “Greek Rock.” Effortlessly reaching a golden status, Kefali Gemato Hrisafi resonates in local, transgenerational collective memory. The album captures soundworlds of dissent, social estrangement, injustice and cynical rejection of the raging consumerism, mass media aesthetics and political populism of the Greek 1990s. The book includes discussion of the lyrical words based on long-term ethnographic discussions with the singer poet-musicians, Yiannis Angelakas (Giannis Aggelakas), who remains a dominant figure in the Greek popular music scene.
