Title

Misirlou Blues

Creator

Samloglou, Paul

Abstract

Misirlou is a folk song rooted in the multicultural character of the Ottoman Empire. Because of this, it exists in and is claimed by the many different cultures of the East Mediterranean area. This interpretation attempts to bring American blues influences which are not traditionally associated with Misirlou, to show that art does not “belong” to a particular culture.
