The Minor of Dawn
A Greek series that presents aspects of the lives of folk musicians who formed a rebetiko band during the 1930s-1960s. The title To Minore tis Avgis comes from the song of the same name, with lyrics by Minos Matsas and music by Spyros Peristeris. The series, which premiered on ERT on January 14, 1983, and was completed in two cycles of 14 and 13 episodes respectively, features popular songs by Vamvakaris, Tsitsanis, Papaioannou, Hatzichristou, and others. Antonis Zagouras is a young rebetis who arrives in Athens from Syros in search of fortune. He becomes a member of a rebetiko band and embarks on an exciting journey full of love, success, but also many disappointments, until he gains social and artistic recognition.
