Smyrneika Tragoudia

[ChristopheSzpajdel]

very nice song, there is a whole sad story behind it. Remember all the greeks who left their lives behind in 1922...This will never be forgotten

[sophievavoulis]

Well done Byron! You have done this song justice.

[rangvi]

Who are those 5 people who don't like this ?????

[rangvi]

This is the most beautiful version of the song !!!

[MEDSEC20]

@rangvi Totally agree with you about this being the best version. I think it is even better than Thalassinos, who wrote the music.

[shadevil13]

Bravoooo bravo telioooo !!!!!!!!!!!

[timur1lenk]

Man I don't know what to say...this is phenomenal. This band is something the best I ever heard. Balkan is culturally richest spot on the Earth. Bravo bravissimo.

[Mechanicarts]

Θεϊκό τραγούδι! Το ανακάλυψα πριν λίγες ώρες (το ήξερα αλλά όχι ολοκληρωμένο, ούτε θυμόμουν στίχους) και έχω πωρωθεί από τότε!

[kirandreas]

Thank you.

[aleksisforbes]

what to be proud of being greek here? Nationalist is nationalist everywhere.

is there any nationalism whem you remember the good old day and your origin, the lost motherland ???

No...this is no nationalism

bravo re paidia! xeretizmata apo san francisco!

[MEDSEC20]

Hello from the UK. This is the best version ever, largely thanks to the dulcimer. Brilliant. Well done Meltemimusic.

[leonis53]

@MEDSEC20

This is nice !! but it cannot be better than the original !!!

Watch - Listen: /watch?v=9IbN9NKHTLM

[MEDSEC20]

Sorry to show my ignorance; which is the original version? If you mean Dalaras, who I have adored for years, I cannot agree with you. What makes this one so special is the dulcimer; which is brilliant.

[leonis53]

@MEDSEC20

Thalassinos IS the original !!!!!!!!!!!!

I never said this isn't good (the dulcimer is great), or Dalaras isn't good. What I am saying is: If you have been listening to Thalassinos for many years, anything else sounds strange.

[MEDSEC20]

Have just watched the Thalassinos version; yes hehas a great voice, but i still prefer this version. Down to taste in the end.

[LordyByron]

@MEDSEC20 This is great, not sure when written. The stringed instrument is not a dulcimer (santur) but a zither (kanun/ kanonaki). Check out 'Koniali- Canonaki' on youtube for some great solo canonaki! :)

[MEDSEC20]

thanks for putting me right - still nevertheless great playing. just love it, makes me proud to be Greek.

[aporia82]

the music and the kanun is great. yasu from turkey...

[Drum252525]

Mpravo mages!!!

[MultiRoula]

μιλάμε...καταπληκτικη εκτέλεση..τα όργανα είναι φοβερά

[TheAMTRAK]

Excellente version de cette chanson célèbre. Voir aussi Pantélis qui est tout aussi génial . Que la musique grecque est belle!!!!!

[ioan01]

The group palying is mixed greeks and Turks. I m sure you 'll tell me why gods mind stops but please tell me if the song refers to the Greek god ( good god) or the Turkish god ( bad god)

[wesker36]

well there is just god and only we the humans dare to give him names

[dburak]

One of the best Greek songs I've ever heard. The performance is great as well. Of course, Dalaras "owns" this piece, but that's a different story.

Respect.

[leonis53]

@dburak

Dalaras is good but this song is 200% Thalassinos: /watch?v=9IbN9NKHTLM
