zeibekiko zeybek Greek Turkish music & dance culture

[WhoAreYouRe]

I know it is off topic but If you are interested to see Byzantine and Ottoman relations read Judith Herrin's 'Byzantium' to get a glimpse of those early influences. thanks

[nykteridas]

rum ceteleri This is how turks called zeybeks.rum

=greek ceteleri=gang!zeybeks were thracians!like Karayotoğlu Nikola, Hambrikoğlu Panayot, Seyrekköylü Nikola, Kaptan Andreya, Kaptan Aleko, Kaptan Foti ve Kaptan Sokrat

[3choBlaster]

@nykteridas Zeybeks where Turkish gangs .. There are no Greek zeybeks, the Greeks adopted the name, dance and clothing. This is simply a fact ... Greeks gangs copied their Turkish counterparts ... Zeybeks are originally Turkish, the Dances and the Gangs

[WhoAreYouRe]

@3choBlaster No man, Greek Anatolians that were exchanged created this in Greece from their home in Anatolia, they were probably in gangs before they were forced into Greece.

[3choBlaster]

@WhoAreYouRe I don't quite understand what you're talking about but the ORIGIN of Zeybeks is Turkish. This is a fact. Zeybeks are Turkish gangs, it's possible that Greek gangs called them selves after our Gangs but Zeybeks are Turkish...

Seriously do some research before commenting ...And have fun watching/listening this is not a forum to talk about history.

Hadi neighbor,

[WhoAreYouRe]

@3choBlaster freaking out for nothing, I was saying that Ottoman Greeks that moved to Greece brought it to Greece from The Ottoman Empire...I didn't say Greeks created it...Of course there was Greek gangs...they are called Mangas and they are similar in a sense...I have read that they were mainly of Turkmen origin..but it influenced all Ottomans alike...get over it bro..

To the people fighting here, learn from the melting pot of the world, the Mother of all civilizations, India, whose people represent every country and continent on this earth. Learn to identify that it is a single cosmic force that animates everything and everyone. We are but moving talking dolls of clay thinking of ourselves as different from each other.

[Rhomios]

The founder of India was a peace loving respectful man, not a totalitarian slaughterer of innocent civilians....

Zeibekiko (or Zeybekiko, Greek: Ζεϊμπέκικο) is considered an urban improvisational dance[1] from Greece with a rhythmic pattern of 9/4[2] or else 9/8[3] (broken down as 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8). The dance originated from the Zeybek warriors of Anatolia and was partly introduced in Greece after the 1923 population exchanges following the

if you only have love for your own race then you only leave room to discriminate and to discriminate only generates hate so greeks and turks just accept each other show some love.

geileSpritzwurst

Turks are Asian, is that true? Greeks are Turkish mules you say, fact, over 40% of today's Turks are susceptible to Mediterranean anemia, something only Romans and Greeks suffer from.

Who is the MULE ?

[utkua]

Turks are not Asian, they are Anatolian, the nly thing came from asia is the ruling dynasty and at most 1 million immigrants(Tuker was 12 million). Proto greeks, and proto turks most likely related Mediterrian people.

[saltadoros08]

its a muth about the prototurks you will never find in serious historical books in the west,,

its a muth created by cemal to give you historic backround in anatolia,,,you come from the stepes of asia after 1072 bringing with you horses tents and carpets,,

eurithing in anatolia is vuzantine greek and armenian

[utkua]

byzantine is not a nation, it is a dynasty a state, even Armenians do not claim they lived in Anatolia, they are Mesopotamians lived in eastern Turkey, Greeks were in the west and north coastal line, mostly governed people, did not invade Anatolia. Nomads do not become agricultural, nomad people are still nomad, in Turkey there are few millions at most. You just cannot stand Anatolians(Turks) and always come with more pathetic ways to claim some kind of right on Anatola.

[saltadoros08]

turkish are nomadic people,,

[aporia82]

""Mediterranean anemia, something only Romans and Greeks suffer from"". how old are you ? this is so childish..

[dimalex8]

he was right, thalassaimia(mediteranean anemia) is a deacese from ancient times affected by south italians and greeks in majority and south afrikans(but only 12% of them), yes 40% of turks have this but also 50% of greeks. This is due the mix of the 2 nations, according biology 10 generations are needed for this mixing results to stop and the nation is "clear" (we are at the 7th)

[aporia82]

@dimalex8 yes but greeks are genetically ethiopians you know.

[dimalex8]

ahahahhaha, tell me that u believed that fraud lol. the same research that said that greeks are identical to aithiopeans also said that japanese are west afrikans, lol u must be stupid or desparate to believe greeks are ethiopeans.

I can write u a list of errors and flauds from the research, sth that they accepted, no serius genetologist accepted ever this research.

Speak for anything else but dont waste ur and my time with a proved fraud.

[dimalex8]

i believe that u r rational enough to understand lies. A LITTLE BIOLOGY LESSON:

The human Y chromosome is passed on from father to son, Greek Y-chromosomes belong to haplogroups HG1, HG2, HG3, HG9, HG21 and HG26. None of the 35 Greek Y chromosomes are of non-Caucasoid origin and has nothing to do with afrikan.

Its not because of the color, afrikans are black cause of the melanine that increases when sun hits u(thats why in summer u get tanned) it takes 200 years for a white to be black from this

[geileSpritzwurst]

Greeks adopted to much turkish Culture:

-Zeybek

-Lokum

-Karagöz

-Imam Bayildi

The Turks ruled the Greeks since 1071 Manzikert. It´s normal that Greeks are bunch of mixed Ottoman Mules.

[dimalex8]

and the other way around, the truth is that greeks helped in formation of the turkish one, in 11th century ad turks had a very mixed culture cause theywere influenced from many other ethnicities untill they arrive in europe(dont get me wrong, i have no intantion insulting ur nation, it is just sth normal for 2 ethnicities which live together for almost 1000 years

[Evolvedprimate]

I'm a firm believer that people should exchange ideas with each other with no strings attatched. Imaging what the world would be like if the world didn't borrow the Greek ideas  philosophy science and democracy , think about it, all they would have is Karagoz.

[Evolvedprimate]

kuzey28

You better double check "Karagioz" a turkish sultan brought it in Asia Minor from Egypt that was brough there by the Greeks.

As far as your threat goes "Molon labe"

You beat us once because we were under Roman rule.

[kuzey28]

the turks brought the shadow theatre from china..and added the turkish characters karagöz and hacivat

these 2 funny guys were Real,they lived in bursa 700 years ago (ottoman capital at the time)..

I agree, an agean revolution reving IONIA where science sratred, the whole world will admire it

turkey say everything is from them but its all greek :s:s they just steal it and after so many years stupid people start to believe them

FUCK OFF WITH TURKEY

its all greek some turk people say feta dodoni is turkish :s:s:s and over 5 years people gonna say yes it is from both :s:s no its greek

[kuzey28]

grikos you are heavily influenced by the turks,but you cant admit it because of your very big inferiority complex hehe zeybek ciftetelli karsilamas amanes (wtf) kasap havasi bouzouki (bozuk copy of turkish baglama) cuisine karagiozis etc etc ohooo all these things belongs to Turkiye your ex-masters and future masters inshallah :D

[Swordmangr]

As far as you have this behaviour you will never become a member in European Community. The people have nothing to argue about!!! I am from Hellas and you are from Turkey, so?? There should be no hate... It's pointless to mention that Turkey ruled Hellas cause sometime you were part of Byzantine Empire but this is history. Let's live in peace and friendship!!!

[Rhomios]

...And I guess the cupples you built your mosques shall imitate a Nomad tent... stupid guy... your culture is a mix from Persian, Byzantine(Greek) and Arabian aspects... there are hardly some "turkish" aspects... not to mention that mosr of you arent ethnic "turks" at all...

[6510686]

turkish=thiefs

[progonolatreia]

did you ever heard the word ekstasis?

it comes from this kind of dances with plenty raki..

raki comes from greece and wine 3000 years ago

[kontragerilla]

not all greek and turks are same, only eastern greeks (aegean part of greece) and western turks (aegean part of turkey) have the same culture. western greeks are different than eastern greeks they are more gypsy and balkanian and eastern turks r different than western ones they r more arabic....so what i want to say fuck off with greece and turkey, let s make an aegean revolution ;-)))

[whiteNshine]

screw your agean revolution. and fuck u.

if you deny your fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers fathers father was eastern, then you need to fuckin kill yourself.

human rigths for the greeks in cuprus! cuprus belong to greeks 3.000 years ago and turkish first landed in the island 400 ago.. turkeys never recpect the greeks,, they come in anatolia from nowhere... they burn and loot the greek citys... they kill greeks.. they suck our holy city konstsntinople into mocse... they took our chiltren for genissary corps.. they took our liberty our land.. our homes they sent us back without 1 penny in the pocket in 1922 turkish brothers lol lol lol

[moonwaterable]

The culture we rae talking about is HUMANISM. Cannot we share imam bayildi and gyro on a table and dance zeybek together! Why? Why is this ethnocultural war happening? Then where is the civilization which was born in those lands we all live in. Open minds and hearts not be instrument of the dirty ideologies misfeeding the brains.

[kingodysseas]

I'm greek.

my grandfather and great grandfather came from what is now turkey in the katastrofi of 1922.

They were greeks who lived in asia minor.

Greeks and Turks should have love for each other, not hate. Our cultures have interacted for thousands of years. They are not exactly the same, but they are both wonderful and have affected each other in many ways.

Fuck this nationalism bullshit. Dont buy what they feed you. One love.

[RicanZouki76]

Well put! One Love is right!

[abagaz8]

everybody is dumb.dont you see that after so many centuries of interaction between greeks and turks thos art forms have no nationality???Neither the food the music and the dancing

[whiteNshine]

i will cut off my penis if zeibek is greek, because its definitely not!

[saltadoros08]

it comes from dionysiac dances ..

[Nogayoglan]

Zeybek Oğuzlara özgü ağır bir oyundur! Göçebe Oğuzlar toylarında Zeybek oyunlarını oynar! Türk Kültür tarihi kitaplarını okusun rum milliyetcileri piççikler!

[AtaturkIsRenaissance]

LMAO they're so cute, it's like I'm watching Turkish faces in this video. I love it when Turks and Greeks fight over music, dance, food etc. Idiots can't you see we are like one? I love Turk/Greek culture, we are all brothers/sisters. PEACE LOVE YOU ALL

we ruled that area for 600 years..... you were there dude thats amazing ...... pls do some research and then speak. ruled is a very general thing...... many greek actually had hi-status in the ottoman empire ..dont forget they were ottomans like your ancestors even if they didnt like it bla bla bla and ...Turk is the same to be a spanish or greek people took thos names only the last 150 or so years....

[dangildungul71]

I am Turkish and I invite anyone to get beyond all anger and fury. Our ancestors caused so much harm and violence to each other . It makes no sense to continue this way. Let´s keep our eye on the good things we share: music, food and hosptaility. I would love to visit Thessaloniki. Ataturk was born there and I heard that it is a great place with a lot of students and bars etc.

This music is great ! Selam to all Peace loving people.

[sternumagnum]

Selam and EIPHNH to you too, neighbor.

[Rhomios]

I like the "each other"... since you have slaughtered raped and killed at least 10 times more than the Greeks could ever do...you are an honourless nation of filthy liars which isnt able to accept the crimes you commited to innocent people... Like your nation founder, you remain, chauvinist, nationalist, totalitarian and facist... you make me sick...

[dangildungul71]

@Rhomios sorry, but neither you nor I have been there. Did youcount yourself? It makes no sense anyway. But I still have one question to you: What was before those terrible times? Did not greeks, turks and others lived in peace for long time ? What was the reason for all those in the beginning of 1900? Things are always complex and it is too cheap to blame just one side. You and I have the choice: We can step beyond anger and hate or we can stay there. I prefere first, I am not sure about you.

musik is a country without history!!!

[tuxedomoon]

Greeks pre-esisted in music of the turkish people with byzantine and ancinet models,but turkish people took this music and they produced it to a very high point and made many innovations also,but as with rome and ancient greece the same here,greeks were before,whoever dont except that is not to be taken serious by anyone

[aaTurka]

AGREE. turks and greeks should be friends. I am a turk. i do not have something against greeks. I accept and respect them. the only difference i see between turks and greeks is religion.

[saxofonikos]

My friends, I'm Greek and I have already mad a lot of friends among the Turks only due to music. Despite the fact that in the past Turks mad a lot of terrible thinks on my family I have already excuse them and bear them as the equal people with a nice tradition. We both have our past and made a lot of bad thinks but today is the time we should become friends!!!

[LiveMusicShow]

Very sad to read these arguments , this site is a celebration of the music of Greeks and Turks , both have influenced eachother and both have excellent traditions, why can't we be friends for a change?

[tsarka1888]

We co-existed for 600+ years & we have no device to enable us to travel back in time to clarify what instruments,melodies,modes/ton­es nor dances we each borrowed from each other.The only thing that is real is the now. When we close our eyes do we all feel something in our hearts for the the music we share.All that matters is that the music beckons both Greeks & Turks.

[Sellos23]

I think the people the Turks and Greeks in that time has a great story and memorys

you re 37 and you still write shit like "there are 2 types of people on this world: 1 greeks, 2: wannabe greeks on your profile. you got your head up your ass mate, dont pollute these beautiful vids with Astorian anti turkish hate mongering.

and what is the matter with the truth? i know the truth sucks but it must always be told

[tsigouni2]

i know mongolian the truth hurts but thats ok you will get over it

[tsigouni2]

i guess you can read what the encylopedia says not my fault your an illiterate sand nigger

ENOUGH SAID

[tsigouni2]

The culture of the Ottoman Empire evolved over several centuries as the ruling administration of the Turks absorbed, adapted and modified the cultures of conquered lands and their peoples

turks have no culture or music

The name's in the video are realy old the names are from middle-asia turks. Chek the music enstruments and the all looks hahah that say everything.

[malakitzos]

greeks have lived over 4000 years in balkans,middleeastern,caucassu­s,asia minor. we had most of the instruments in byzantine times...

[balkanturkic]

[hellinic1]

There were Greeks Before the mongolians came from the steppes and named them selves Turks. Osman Bey was a bastardized Chinaman from the Mongols

[jelijeli1905]

But the instruments are turkish because the names are in turkish... + We came from west china so what???? If we didnt you wouldnt have the instruments.. you say that you were in anatolia before turks but some Turk DNA are the same with Greek DNA... There is not so many Turks in Turkey actually maybe 30-50%..
