Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Once you've gone epic, the only way to go is intimate. So after last year's orchestral extravaganza Marinai, profeti e balene, the Italian Tom Waits (he's even got Ribot on board for a couple of songs) has taken a small band of musicians into an analogue studio to produce this warm, robust tribute to the Greek rebetiko style.
The most familiar tune here will be "Misirlou" (featured in Pulp Fiction) but if that gets the juices flowing so will everything else here.
