Description
Το κομμάτι γνώρισε μεγάλη διάδοση και ευρεία λαϊκή απήχηση, εξαιτίας των δυνατών ανατολίτικων μελωδιών που ενσωματώνει. Για τον λόγο αυτό άλλωστε κατέληξε σχεδόν λαϊκός σκοπός, που ταυτίστηκε όσο λίγοι με την πόλη της Σμύρνης".
As Giorgos Kokkonis and Maria Zoumpouli mention in the insert that accompanies the music publication "I Smyrni kai i Smyrnia" (2013 41-42): "According to the sources, the song was composed by Mehmet Ali Bey, conductor of the Imperial military band of Smyrna (Izmir). It was recorded in the early 20th century and released by different labels and different covers under the titles Marche Smyrne, Izmir Marche and Izmır Marşı. In the most widespread recording, the solo of the cornet in the middle of the track is strongly reminiscent of an improvisation. This detail confirms that the song was also performed publicly, in non-military social events.
The song was widely spread and became widely popular due to the strong oriental melodies it incorporates. For this reason, after all, it ended up being almost considered as a popular tune, which was identified, as few have, with the city of Smyrna (Izmir)."
