Suggestions about Greek Music.......2006-07-22
If you're looking for good Greek music, representative of our good folk music, then you have to look for eponymous works, composed by Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hatzidakis, Stavros Xarhakos, Mimis Plessas etc or sung by Melina Merkouri, Grigoris Bithikotsis, George (Yorgos) Dalaras, Eleftheria Arvanitaki, Haris Alexiou, Glykeria... Luckily, you can find good samples of those on Amazon.
There are many more good artists and styles, but I stick to what I believe will be familiar for a beginner, whose impression of Greek music comes only from Theodorakis's "Zorba" and Hatzidakis's "Never on Sunday". I guess you have also listened to "Misirlou" by Nikos Roubanis, a modernized version of which is the main theme in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction soundtrack.
I also have to warn you about the great difference among various styles of Greek music, all of which may be called "folk". I think you'd like more the "laiki mousiki" or "laika tragoudia" (city folk music or songs - using the bouzouki) than the "demotiki mousiki" or "demotika tragoudia" (countryside music or songs - with no bouzouki but may be clarinet or violin or "lyra" traditional violin-like instrument).
I hope I helped a little.
