You guys are right!This music intertwined.Greeks ,Armenians,Turks,Assyrians,Kur­ds,and Arabs have been using each others music for centuries,but thats what makes it great.

[haris1963]

I totally agree. It is Eastern Mediterranean Music and belongs to anyone who plays (listens, dances and feels) it. During the multicultured empires of the past (Byzantine, Otoman e.t.c) there were no borders to the music and the musicians.

I really cannot tell which ones are Greek and which ones are Turkish. Could you help me out? I need to know which countries play which instruments. BTW These songs are known as Classical Turkish Music in Turkey. Are these commonly known in Greece?

[haris1963]

All are Greeks except the female singer and the saz player (Turkish). The clarinet player is a Pomakian from Thrace. In greece this is common traditional songs. I don't believe (as far as I know) that this is called "classical turkish music". It rather belongs in folk music.

Το καναρίνι.... η αυθεντική μορφή είναι αυτή. Ο αρχικός ρυθμός είναι αντικριστός (καρσιλαμάς). Τώρα στα νησιά το έχουν κάνει συρτό... δεν είναι , βέβαια, άσχημο!! Όπως όλη η μουσική της δημοτικής μας παράδοσης. έχει καταγωγή από τη Ελληνικά αρχαιότητα, με τους 600.. τόσους ρυθμούς!! Κυριαρχεί ο ερωτισμός (libido) η κινούσα δύναμη του πολιτισμού.. Δεν είναι άσχετο το ότι οι διεθνείς μουσικοί όροι Μελωδία και Αρμονία είναι Ελληνικές λέξεις...!!!

I am originally from Algeria and we have the same style of music we call it Malouf . I love greek music

[Suraknar]

Greek music has so many different styles, and can you really not expect that from a civilization that counts over 4000 years of history and siting between East and West?
