  1. Fabulous tune and old video. I imagine these were vintage Scopitones? I got a middle Eastern gem the other day that I will have to record something for you from. Very Source Exotica.

  2. I don't know. I think it may be from a movie. But you've just turned me onto a thing I wasn't aware of. I look forward to your samples. You might want to check this unique blog out: http://scopitones.blogs.com/scopitonescom/watch_scopitones/

  3. The principle musician (the tall one with a great head of hair) is Vasilis Tsitsanis. I would assume this is his band of the time.
