[Deodan]

[TheDionysis]

not going to discuss anything about darbuka playing....but you mot...kers learn that kalamatiano is a Greek rythm originated from region Kalamata which is at GREECE

[JuanDeCarmen]

Does anybody know what the name of the stringed instrument is?, it is not an oud, it is a kind of lute I guess, but could somebody tell me its name?

Thanks!

[Deodan]

a guitar in arabic style

[JuanDeCarmen]

Thanks for the information Deodan, could it be a mandolute (as described in enDOTwikipediaDOTorg), although this instrument has 6 double strings and in the wikipedia article it is said a mandolute has got 10 (5 double strings actually)

[Deodan]

roma kids in turkey play like this when they are only 4 years old...unbelievable untalented and ugly old men...sorry...

[JuanDeCarmen]

It has been extracted from what's supposed to be an instructional DVD, so for obvious reasons rhythms get simplified I guess. For the very same reason, when you are learning a new language, English e.g., you start by learning "My name is X", which is not a difficult sentence.

PS: maybe you're ugliest than that man who is a good teacher I think, and fyi beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[hostaden]

@GMinority well what about you? i hope u dont play as u behave because u behave like shit

[pseudo315]

hezz09, obviously you're not arabic, or else you would know that this beat is not even close to being arabic. I am from Lebanon, and i know that what they played is not even close to arabic. My 4 year old sister could have known that.

[PetrosLAN]

Greek!!!!

[Pijanosaurio]

Hola: se puede conseguir la escala que hace la guitarra?

salu2

[isfahani]

Ummmm not *all*, we should be so lucky!

A few things:

Didn't the Arabs own Spain for a few centuries before the xians kicked them out?

The Turks pWNed everyone in the neighborhood - outside of the Greeks - for centuries & there was always some sort of musical exchange between those in the Middle East (Levant) and Mediterranean, I believe the theory involves Gypsies and migration.

"Kalamatiano" is a Greek rhythm but 3+2+2 has many variants worldwide.

Nationalist posturing is laughable.

All dumbek players know this 7 beat rhythm. With slightly different accents its called dwar hindi. Seems like most of the posters, excluding SonicBlunt, don't play a dumbek.

ewvqe

[LimeGirl08]

Very nice, I enjoyed every second. Thank you.

[SonicBlunt]

nice a traditional greek instrument mixed with a spanish guitar....fascinating!

[hezz90]

are you retarded, that would be a darbuka, and its middle eastern, another words arab drum, where did greek come from. and that guitar tune is also arabic. Spanish doesnt get mixed with darbuka

[SonicBlunt]

well actually on that what the guys is drumming on is a darbukah...kalamatiano is a greek folk dance and greek culture is almost the same as the middle eastern...the greek word for darbukah is touberleki....and why not? two cultures mixed in one? i think its fantastic..

[hezz90]

uh highly doubt it dude, arab culture is completely different, and that darbuka is derived from Babylon if you read history. Greece doesnt come in

[israfille]

[PashaofTrikala]

[hezz90]

where the hell did greek come from

[SonicBlunt]

well yes darbukah is arabic but almost every eastern mediterranean and middle eastern country use it in their music.....

[hezz90]

arabia is different

[SonicBlunt]

have u ever been in greece....do u know the culture?

[hezz90]

yeah, lol half the time they are like turks. And their culture, yea umm they stole middle eastern dance, food (sweets). But they did invent something in their culture. Gay people. I think it was alexander the great who spread it.
