Which country makes the best music?

[de Burgh II]

I would say Irish; very fluid, ethereal and homely in its concoction via its entirety:

[Lavrentis]

You know rembetiko, sirtaki, bozuki, horon, çiftetelli, zeybek... These all come from our common Anatolian culture.

All these types you listed are of course Anatolian and have nothing to do with original Greek music.

And I agree, Anatolian Greeks share an Anatolian culture with Turks.

Classical music definitely Italy and Germany, by far. Pop and rock I would say UK.

Europeans, Indians and Africans basically. Ethnic groups rather than countries.

Some examples:

Europe\Western Music:



Indid people:



Sub-Saharan Africans:

Europe(excluding Russia) is the home of music. I do not listen to classical music composed later than 1780s, when Mozart died, Mozart marks the end of Classical music. All music composed in Europe before Mozarts death are all acceptable to me, with no exceptions but specialties( of more generous interests) from earlier periods. Modern music is about vulgar interests of hopeless existences, drunkenness, flirtiness, thug fights, racism, socialism, underdogs, whose ideas, minds, memories, stories are not of any worthy concern, hopefully someday all the bad music can be forgotton along with their pains. However, a few british and japanese pop music artists do stand out to me, only around 3 modern music artists are listenable to me. BTW Soviet music is the worst insult to my ear so far.

Both remberiko and sirtaki, after the arrival of anatolian refugees were developed as mainland music, with massive influence from ionian islanders' kantades, so yes, they are both Greek, but not even anatolians themselves claim ciftenteli, we associate it with romani people, who have assimilated it in their culture

The more "European" part of anatolian culture is nice, I agree

They was like ''Oh! This malakas are dancing and singing like smurfs. Lets show them how we do in Anatolia'' Then they created Sirtaki and Rembetiko there. Rembetiko is same with this thing that we also have.

Sirtaki doesn't come extremely similiar to anything that we have in here, it is like steps of a drunk man. But you can't find even a single person that doesn't like Sirtaki. That is not something alien to us. If you search drom Youtube you can find many many Sirtaki videos that maden by Turkish people.

Its 10 times better than Turkish folk music for sure.

Turks copypasted their music from Byzantine,Persian,Kurdish and Armenian anyway.

So leave Greeks alone and fuck of Turkish asshole "Ibne Tsoglan"

Ibne Tsoglan? LOOOL
You are amazing.

There is no traditional turkish Rembetiko
Even if Yoruk Turks dance Zeybek i have never seen Turkish rembetes.
Horon even the name is Greek from Horos which means dance.
Never seen a Turk playing Bouzouki.
Turks play Zas and Tanbour mostly.
Sirtaki is based in traditional Cretan music.

Are you going to claim Cretan music as Turkish also?

I already posted the source of Rembetiko in another post
Zeybek already comes from Guerilla Zeybek fighters. So ''Even if Yoruk Turks dance Zeybek'' this is so ironic
Name of it may be Greek, name of Bozuki is also Turkish. Here you can learn everything about Bozuki. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Bouzouki
And a Turk who is playing Bozuki


Pontians don't call horon horon. They call it sera. Already I didn't say it is Turkish. Horon is a common cultural dance that we have in Karadeniz or Pontos and it is unique. Pontians have no similiarity with mainland Greeks btw.
I explained our sirtaki case in other post.

We turned this innocent thread to a Turk-Greek duel. Bravo for that

the non-European part of Anatolian Greeks' music is considered the crappiest and most alien in folk Greek, if that's what you mean as "including Greek". the Greek proper music has not anything in common with either Anatolia or caucasus

Really?

I think kemenche/lyra sounds pretty good
