Not exactly, but often very similar. You don't find this same type of music in the rest of southern Italy, and in Greece it's a particularly Aegean sound.
Compare these Apulian songs in instrument and sound;

To this Greek song from the islands;

Because the Salento received a lot of Greek influence from the Early Middle Ages to the 17th century, mostly through Greek immigration.
But I mean why is it so similar to Aegean island music in particular? And not as much other Greek styles?
Because of population movements (migrations) and cultural interactions/exchanges.
Does it?
Actually I think Jeraci has posted some better proxies,this song is from Cyclades.
Here you have a better view.

That also sounds similar to the ones I posted.Quote:
