Greek music

Zorba's dance soundtrack

Greek music encompasses the traditional and popular music of Greece, characterized by complex rhythms, modal scales, and instruments like the bouzouki, lyre, and clarinet.

Traditional forms include rebetiko (urban blues-influenced music) and folk songs tied to regional dances.

We listened to Greek music at the taverna.

Modern Greek music blends these elements with pop, rock, and electronic influences.
