so as Marko Melkon....

What they call Turkish Classical Music today has nothing but Armenian and Greek roots, most of the compositions and styles were created by these two ethnic minorities who absolute love for the soil they grew on and the people they grew up without questioning anyone's religion etc. Unfortunately they got a great gift from the ruling majority during the early 20s and the ones who just could not leave due to the same love they still have for the soil are still suffering...

[rakjak2]

kanuni garbis is also Armenian

@hannahr77 Does ethnicity, or nationality really matter? What really matters is that the music moves us all!

İki kültür ve Roza Eskenazi

[gursoy49]

Wonderful music. Anatolina Rums were our brothers and sisters until mainland Yunans interfered. Unfortunately Anatolian Rums suffered the most during the exchange.. they were even rejected by their mainland conterparts for not being "Greek enough" after their exodus from Anatolia. I feel so sorry for their isolation from both their old homeland AND rejection in their new homeland. I wish it was possible to welcome the old inhabitants of rembetiko generations back to Anatolia.

[Love1Cuba]

Many turkish songs were recovered in greek in the past.

[Anatolian1907]

Zeybek = Turkish civil warriors who fight on mountains...

AND also the nickname of Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK is ''Blonde Zeybek''.

[saltadoros08]

@Anatolian1907

its greek anatolian music witch addapted from the turkish tribes and took their name when they come in the region at the 11 centyry,,

[aporia82]

@saltadoros08 you were there when it happened ?

[colexiou]

@Anatolian1907 Zeybek is a Greek word and comes from the words 'Zeus' (=Dias) + 'bekos' (=bread). It was a tribute of greek warriors in Anatolia who offered the Greek god Zeus bread before fighting for good luck. This word was adopted by Turks later, that's why there are 2 versions of zeybekiko dance, the Greek which is faster and the Turkish which is much slower. Similarly this music was originally sung by Greeks of Anatolia and adapted by Turks who came in the area in 11th AD.

[Barbossapasa]

@colexiou everything turkish comes from greek right? What next? Was "Turk" also a greek work that came from what Madussa named her favourite cock?

[colexiou]

@Barbossapasa Did I say so?No,I was very specific!

The 1st recorded use of "Turk" as a political name is a 6century reference to the word pronounced in Modern Chinese as 'Tujue'.This happened as your ancestors came from Mongolia where they were speaking Chinese.

As for Madusa,she was living in LA &was fucking a blonde.I can't see why you thought she was talking about dark dirty low-life Mongols (Turks).Unless you thought she was addressing to you when she mentioned that the guy was empty-skull

[Barbossapasa]

@colexiou idiot, you clearly fail to understand the tone of my comment. My point is you greeks claim Turkish food and music as your own. You play the violin in the style of the Turks. You also play clarinet like us Turks. You sing like us Turks. Then you shamelessly claim it as greek or Byzantine or from the time of ancient greece!

[tuxedomoon]

Byzantine Roman?Haha,again romans found so much civilazation from Greeks that they became greeks Romans are Greeks ,the second time romans conquered greece but as they used to say Greece conquered them with civilazation and the culture.

[tuxedomoon]

zeybek=zeus+bekos

Get your facts str8...

Zeybek the root of the word...

[ZAXIR1969]

get your facts str8...

[tape527i]

Nice video, bravo!

As for the dispute : the facts are simple

The name of the empire which existed in Asia Minor until 15 th century was Eastern Roman Empire. The ruling class in most regions (Asia Minor, Aegean, Cyprus, South Balkans) were Greeks and the speaking language was Greek for the most of its history. Turks first came in the area after defeating the Emperor Romanos Diogenis the 4rd in 1070 in the battle of Matzikert.

[dna2374]

greek culture is shallow in comparison to Greek culture? In terms of what? This is the best joke ever written in here. cheers. Made my day.

[medsea77]

For Simonaris 2:You may say;but Ottomans supressed us as a stereotype!

I should remind you if there is a Greek Orthodox church in the world today and patriarch in Istanbul is the first between the equals in Orthodox world,you should thank to the Turkish conquerer of the "city", "emperor Mehmed II".He kept Yorgo Skolaris as patriach in Fanar in 1453.Emperor honored and help him to prevent the community to be articulated by Catholics as no one had forgotten 1204 Latin sack& invasion yet!!

[medsea77]

For Simonaris 1:Yes Romans were not concerning about any ethnic sense,because they were an "empire" as same as Ottoman Empire..Ottomans definitely found and ruled by Turks,but harmonized all ethnical groups peacefully..

To see that,you don't need to go so far!

Look today's Balcans,Middle East..

As soon as Ottoman Empire dissolved they involved in trouble with provocations coming from Russia,US,UK etc., which they triggered the ethnical and religious wars.Divide&rule!!

[medsea77]

For Konstantinos: Again another etymologyical distortion on a word,it is zeybek! You can't claim a word Greek with just adding -ko,-ki etc.,

Zeybeks were undisciplined Turkish soldiers supposed to live around todays Turkey's Adana and Aydin province &they were sent down to Egypt in 12th C by Seljuk Turks.They were named as zibaks=mercury there..

Zeybek means in old Turkish which is deriven from Arabic:"like mercury" most probably this guys were sluggish,walk and move so slowly like their dance

[KonstantinosKaplanis]

@medsea77 For: medsea77: Zeybekiko, originated around Smirni in Karamania (Western Turkey) where the people are actually descended from the Greeks. In fact they were all Greek until the turcks slughtered and raped everyone in that region. You should open a history book... the name has its origins in Adanus and Sarus, the two sons of Uranus, who came to a place near the Seyhan (Sarus) River, where they built Adana.

[KonstantinosKaplanis]

@medsea77 The Greeks even have their own coins from this land of THEIRS! It is related with the legendary Danaus and the Danaoi, a legendary Greek tribe. In the Iliad of Homer, the city is called Adana. The turks never had any form of dance or culture like the Greeks until they invaded Greek territory..... I dont mean to be rude but I get dissapointed when distorted history is spread. :)

[KonstantinosKaplanis]

I would like to say that Zeimpekiko is an original Greek dance not turkish. The turks have never had any form of dance until they decided to take over Asia Minor(Greece). Moreover, I would like to point out to medsea31 that the Byzantine Empire was indeed Greek. Many textbooks today display it as Roman but the emperor's mother was Greek and the culture spread from it was also Greek.

Overall, this is a nice song.

[MasakadosMagatama]

TRUE

[medsea31]

And by the way who told you Byzantine is Greek,they are Romans!!

Actually there is not an state called as Byzantine in history,it is just a medieval time missunderstanding because of a Austrian-German historian..

Look to the chronicles; until the last emperor in the capital they were labelling themselves as Roman..

I know it is too much in one day for you,but what to do this is real history..

:))

[simonaris]

Yes, the Byzantine Empire was indeed Roman, but not in an ethnic sense. All free men were Roman citizens part of the historic Roman Empire and as such defined themselves that way, ie. Ρωμαιοι. That does not however mean that the people were not Greek, Armenian, Jewish etc. Byzantine is an anachronism as they did not use that term during the Empire but it is a good term now to distinguish between the late Greek speaking Eastern Empire and the early Latin speaking empire centred on Rome.

[MasakadosMagatama]

FALSE. Get your facts right sweetheart. The Romans INVADED the Byzantine empire like they did in most countries including Mainland Greece. Be smart, think before you speak.

[denxero]

@MasakadosMagatama

u are talking of straight facts... the concept of "byzantine empire" didnt exist before the romans, and even the very words were coined after the fall of what was called the eastern holy roman empire. But there you have it, every time some one posts a beautifull clip depicting how close and entagled the greek and turkish cultures are, we have a shit load of ignorant nationalistic lunatics trying to impose their hallucinations as a reality...

sad but TRUE...

[medsea31]

Ottoman culture is not as shallow as Greek culture Jimmy..

I am sorry,it is a big shock for you I know but you have to admit Ottoman is the sum of East&West whose led and ruled by Turks for ages..

:)

[sparti8]

my friends greek and turkish this type of music was brought there by alexendrs soldiers from the orient

[medsea77]

I believe Turks&Greeks are really close&had really good time when I stayed there for 2 months with my Greek friends,but I don't like when they claim anything or anyone Greek which belong to Ottoman culture...

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

@medsea77

Ottoman Culture is Byzantine culture and hence Greek culture.

[medsea77]

I believe Turks&Greeks are really close&had really good time when I was there,but I don't like everything or everyone claimed as Greek by them..

[SaitFaik54]

No, she was born in Istanbul and later her parents were moved to Greece, in fact she was in Komothini (in Gumulcune) when my Turkish grand-grand parents and grandparents were still there, I wonder if they ever met., but I guess I will never find the answer to it as none are alive to enquire.

[cretanlondoner]

i thought eskenazi was born in thessaloniki...?

[aybertum]

[moufasfoumas]

i love you man... greek and turks brothers

[mustanginer]

sana katılmakla birlikte greklerin şu an çoğunlukla kendilerini avrupaya ait bizi de az gelişmiş doğuya ait gördüklerini ve biz belli olgunluğa ulaşmadan onların bu gerçeğin farkına varmayacaklarını dolayısıyla da bu tür sözlerin şu an itibariyle karşı taraf tarafından anlaşılmayacağını üzülerek belirtirim...

[Orkaykilij]

@aybertum oha.. yani... daha neler...

[rangvi]

@aybertum how nice !!!

[OKokaliarhs]

@aybertum Thank you brother! So refreshing to hear that. I had a Rebetika band in upstate New York for years. Two Turks, A Bulgarian, I am Greek. There is nothing so good as the mix of these cultural influences not only in creating music, but in hanging out, drinking together, and sharing food. We sang in 4 languages. Perfect.

[667nikolas]

@aybertum we are not....we are related with the ancient greeks and turks are related to moggols...never forget....

[moufasfoumas]

ecxelent... apsoga... bereket... this two countries can do a lot of great things if there is unity... i believe so..

[historysays]
