The Istanbul ud player Agapios Tomboulis, who is found on innumerable Greek recordings of the 30s, here sings in Turksih the famous karsilamas Iskender Bogazi or Ben Yarimi Gordum. The same tune is sung in Greek by the Duo Stamboul, also originally from Istanbul. Aspects of the tune appear on the dance melody Selanik from the Serres region of eastern Macedonia, played on zournas and daouli/davul

  • The term "karsilamas" comes from the Turkish word "karsilama" meaning "face to face greeting" and is often used as a slang word designating the pickpocket's method of knocking against someone to steal his wallet. The Greek name of the dance is Antikristos Makedonikos, meaning "face to face dance from Macedonia."

    The dance was popular around Constantinople (now İstanbul, Turkey) during Byzantine times. Originally a warlike dance, the Turks adopted it when they conquered the area.
