I strongly feel the need to thank warmly Elias Yarenis for his especially useful comments, recommendations and suggestions as well Kostas Goutoudis for the design and implementation of the database and Pavlos Tsakalidis for his valuable help in completing the current release.

I warmly thank Theodore Pavlidis for the design of the new web pages and Olympia Chatzidmitriou for translating into English the text "A brief introduction to rebetiko" and for her contribution to translating several technological and musical terms.

Many thanks also go to Giannis Laggas, Christos Savranidis, Sophia Tsimpikaki, Sophie, Dimitris Avagianos, Giorgos Polyhronakis and Giorgos Tselepidis for their help in the earlier releases of rebetiko.gr

www.rebetiko.gr has its roots in 1998. The base has been accessible on the Internet since October 1999.
