http://www.freds.gr. Columbia, established in 1930, was the first record company to operate in Greece. Until it closed down in 1991 it was the preeminent Greek record company and most of the country's big performing artists were signed to the label. During the seventies many Arab musicians from either Egypt or the Middle East used the studios for their recordings. In 2009, 200 undocumented migrants squatted the deserted building. Most of them are Algerians. Nearly all of them want to end up in France or in any of "the big and rich European countries, because in Greece there is not enough work". They try their luck at the port of Patras, hiding in containers and trucks in hopes of getting on board a ship to Italy. Sometimes they manage to buy a fake passport or an identity card and attempt to travel by plane to different European destinations. Very few of them are able to make their dream come true. http://www.freds.gr.
