Marika Ninou & Tsitsanis in the "Jimmy o Hondros" tavern
Get ready for one of the most impressive dance sequences since the 2015 movie Dancin' It's On ! I sure hope that the dancer didn't end up with a lifetime of expensive dental work. It's been a while (almost two years?) since we posted anything by the superlative rebetika singer Marika Ninou; here she and the band performs four songs, interspersed with various scenes from Jimmy's Tavern. I never made it there, so I cannot vouch for the authenticity of the crowd and their antics. The notes below the video are superb and concise; here is Google's direct translation: A piece from the movie "PIASA TIN KALI", filmed in the legendary tavern "Jimis o Chondros". The band Vassilis Tsitsanis plays and Marika Ninou sings the songs "To make a man", "Zaira" and "Ta kavourakia". The film was shown in the 1954-55 season and came 10th among the 14 films of the season. Directed by: Yiannis Triantaphyllis and starring Georgia Va
