About this product

For the first time in history għana musicians, like musicians elsewhere, had the opportunity to press their songs on the first records of Maltese music. As part of the record catalogue featuring a variety of musical styles, the bards of this culture recorded their personal poems, written or improvised, their guitar playing, and their unique voices in studios locally and overseas. The result was the publication of dozens of 78rpm records featuring the more renowned għana singers and guitarists of the day, who carried out live performances in the studio. The songs in this collection aim to represent the variety of forms featured on the records, as well as provide information about the singers who minted their names on these discs in the interwar period.
