Rembetika was a Greek urban blues of a subculture of Greek refugees, who had for centuries lived in Asia Minor. With the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) collapsing in 1922 they fled to Greece, where they were not particularly welcome either. These refugees, called "Rembetis" created their own music.

The lyrics of rembetika reflect poverty, pain, oppression, unrequited love, betrayal...
