To karafaki

Part of the content is temporarily available only in Greek

The song probably comes from an unidentified, so far, revue.
The recording was released by the record label Orfeon, for which Aristomenis Kalyviotis mentions the following (
2002: 109-110): "Orfeon (Blumenthal Record and Talking Machine Co Ltd), owned by brothers Herman and Julius Blumenthal, began its recording production in late 1910 and early 1911 in Constantinople (Istanbul), where it also owned a record factory. The Blumenthal brothers, before opening Orfeon, were Odeon's representatives in Constantinople (Istanbul). On the labels of the company's records, the brand 'Orfeos Record' or the Greek 'Orfeion' appears many times instead of 'Orfeon Record'. Its repertoire included many Greek songs."
