Is this song from Greece or is the Greek touch just added as an extra to the dance?

[Hageulah]

@Ellassification - - thank you!

@Ellassification , i this old classic love song written by Tsitsanis. The music and the instruments are Greek, the words are not.

Saltiel, sings some of the sephardi songs in the trditional way. In this CD one can find many dances, common among Greek and Jewish .The arrangements are made by Nikos Tzannis, and I think it is the most loyal to tradition version of spharadic music.

I m wondering, though, what dances the Romaniotes did have. I mean, of course,mainly the Romaniotes of Zante, who survived the Holocaust. I know that there was a Zakynthos Synagogue somewhere in Tel-Aviv, but I suppose, not any more.

Never the less being in Israel, one could try the original hasapiko, which is a dance of the rembetes. For rembetes (or the outcast or outlaws of the cities) would accept Jewish people in their ranks. On the other hand, Greek Cretans for example, were not allowed to enter the rembetiko high society (you now, jails etc)

There is a very interesting cd ,titled "Saltiel" (Σαλτιελ), in which the cantor of one of the synagogues of Thesaloniki, Mr Daviko Saltiel....

Well done, bravo to the girls. Choreography is very interesting, too. But allow me, please, to share with you some thoughts.The steps seem to me very good ,but somehow they do not fit smoothly with this particular song. The original dance of the song is "Hasapiko" which is more slow, "heavy" as we say in Greek, for it is mainly a men' s dance.That' s why I feel that, in the begining, the girls perform too many steps. On the other hand, who cares, music and dance is not a museum.
