Authentic Greek music DOES NOT sound Middle Eastern nor Turkish.

[Hellenas]

Turks who do not realize that Greeks get this kind of music from them.

We didn't get this kind of music from Turks since this kind of music can be also found in Ancient Greece. I told you that also for Tsifteteli, it can be also found in ancient Greece. Same goes for Anatolian-Asiatic racial influences, we have some few of them since antiquity, they are not from Turks.

[LightHouse89]

sounds sorta like Albanian music now please don't shoot me. This is literally something they would play. Its not bad but sounds strange to a Yank who is use to our simple country music

[Dorian]

How the fuck did those nomadic mongol tribes had this kind of music when they invaded in anatolia?
They stole lands,they stole dna(children kidnapping/forcing to islamization) now they want to steal culture and music?hahahahahahahaha just try to make something yours subhumans..but i guess you just can't!you are just a nation of thieves.
Anyway all the string instruments(bouzouki-saz-baglama etc)descend from the ancient greek instrument Pandura.You can search about it!Most of what they call as middle eastern or turkish music comes from the Ionians of Smyrna.This music was mainly expressing feelings of pain,the same as the songs of Kazantzidis and turks have nothing to do with this culture as they were conquerors.
Τhe below genre was evolved in Athens through Greek folk music in 1834,it then became well known in all the Greek slums and became more famous when Smyrnians came to Greece.turks no way could produce such a culture and music!

This is one of the best Greek songs. And it reminds me of Sicilian music.

The Ottoman Empire brought cultural exchanges from far and wide. I don't see why it would be considered authentic to any Balkan country.

You're confusing so called turbo folk, which is genre on it's own and has many influences and authentic music. Also, have no idea why you're mentioning my country on this thread? Serbian authentic folk music is not Ottoman influenced.

Neither is Greek, that is my point.

Reminds me so much of Sicilian and Calabrese music you hear in the countryside.
