My Choice - André Rieu: Sirtaki (Συρτάκι)

The beautiful Greek Sirtaki played by André Rieu. We're showing some photos of Greek Dancers and photos of Greece.

Sirtaki or syrtaki (συρτάκι) is a popular dance of Greek origin, choreographed by Giorgos Provias for the 1964 film Zorba the Greek. It is not a traditional Greek folkdance, but a mixture of the slow and fast versions of the hasapiko dance. The dance, and the accompanying music by Míkis Theodorakis, are also called Zorbá's dance, Zorbas, or "the dance of Zorba".

The name Sirtáki comes from the Greek word syrtos, a common name for a group of traditional Cretan dances of so-called "dragging" style, as opposed to pidikhtos (πηδηχτός), a hopping or leaping style. Despite that, Sirtaki incorporates both syrtos (in its slower part) and pidikhtós (in its faster part) elements.

Sirtáki is danced in a line or circle formation with hands held on neighbours' shoulders. Line formation is more traditional.

Andre Rieu can make any kind of music from any country. This man is the top of the list as a musican and a great musican himself. Great music. I have been to Greece and enjoyed every day. The people were great and the wine was fantastic! It's a pity they are in such bad shape financially. So be it in the rest of the world

Merci Alfred! Superbe chanson! Super video!

[superciliana]

superba piesa imi place

[Lucholuccini]

hermosa versión. Para mis alumnos de la secundaria, es algo impresionante, y les hace amar ( inconscientemente) de la música popular ejecutada por una orquesta "clásica" , el profe Luccini, Asunción del Paraguay(Colegio Lumen, tecnico Javier, Ima y de la Univ. Americana)
