Ένα Ταξίδι στο Ρεμπέτικο για μικρούς και μεγάλους

Rate this book
Το βιβλίο αυτό ξεκίνησε όταν ένα μπαγλαμαδάκι αποφάσισε να μας διηγηθεί μια ιστορία. Το μπαγλαμαδάκι έζησε πολλά χρονια, ταξίδεψε, είδε τον κόσμο γύρω του να αλλάζει, αλλά είχε πάντα ένα χάρισμα: οποίος το έπαιρνε στα χέρια του τραγουδούσε μόνο αλήθειες. Μπαρμπα-Γιαννη λέγαν το αφεντικό του, μαραγκός στο επάγγελμα και ερασιτέχνης μουσικός...
Η αφήγηση εκτυλίσσεται με φόντο τον Πειραιά, την ιστορία της Ελλάδας, των πολέμων, των αγώνων και συνάμα των τραγουδιών που γεννήθηκαν μέσα σε αυτές τις συνθήκες. Το μπαγλαμαδάκι προσκαλεί τους νέους σε ένα ταξίδι στον κόσμο του ρεμπέτικου.
Άραγε, σε αυτή τη δύσκολη εποχή που ζούμε, είναι ακόμα δυνατόν τα ρεμπέτικα τραγούδια να κάνουν τα πίκρα της ζωής γλυκά;
