Some call him the Italian Tom Waits but his music music is more of a romantic crooner, folk music sound. Vinicio Capossela has just released a new album, Rebetiko Gymnastas. Employing Athens’s finest players, Capossela reprises old songs such as Morna and Con Una Rosa, adding new material and Greek standards.
