Authentic Greek music DOES NOT sound Middle Eastern nor Turkish.

"Subhuman"??? HA, HA, HA you offspring of completely uncivilized ANIMALS, you cannot compare me and my HELLENIC ancestors with your BARARIAN KIND!!! When we made the civilization that now Europeans have you were in caves and up on the trees. There is nothing gypsy and nothing north african to the Greek music, you are ridiculous as well. Perhaps there are just some orientalid influences but not "gypsy" and "north african". Greek music is native.

You attacked me first, I answer you the same way, you nazi subhuman who doesn't understand the English language.

Hellenas, don't deal with this maghrebi french wannabee.
I'ts like trying to teach Aristotele to an opossum.

Yeah, how come you're a moderator while you close a thread of a half-italian just because you don't like the way he looks? You're a just a joke.

We're OT btw, return to the main topic

It is acctually not Middle Eastern melody. (altough greatly influenced by it) Anyway, you kept insisting on "Serbian element" of this discussion just to get reaction.

Ok.

Because the people who are saying this are either;

1) Other Balkan groups who also have the same influences in their music, or
2) Turks who do not realize that Greeks get this kind of music from them.

Real folk Bulgarian music doesn't have Turkish or gypsy influence. Neither does Greek. Greek music sound similar to Oriental music because of cultural exchange in the antiquity.

You said Greeks have gypsy and north african influences, so you spread your bs first. It is not that I don't understand the english langauage, it is that you are not definite when you write in english. I am not a nazi but a nationalist, I am not a subhuman but a hyperhuman, end.

More misguided rubbish. Ancient Greek music, just like medieval and modern Greek music, always interacted with wider musical traditions that lapped up on its shore - especially traditions from the east.

That is still not the same as some of modern Greek and Balkan music that sounds straight out of Turkey.

Sikeliot, could you respond to the comment I made earlier in this thread?

Turbo folk doesn't sound like Turkish music. It sounds like gypsy music.
