Greek and Bulgarian Music and culture

[Spartan]

[CENTER]I wonder if Greece would have any proper cuisine and music culture today if christian Turks wouldn't bring all these culture to Greece.

We would have had to settle for the Rennaisance...thank god you guys came along...

By the way, ......... What is 'manamooOooooo' its definetly not Macedonian. Is it some kind of cow call????

The music seems to be definitely Macedonian. But the lyrics are quite touching and refer to those who live in foreign countries away from home. "Mana mou" means "my mother" (moja majka, if I'm not mistaken ).

I know what 'mans mou' means John I was only being silly with mousaka who gave us a silly propaganda clip trying to prove there is macedonia and its Greek. You seem to also think it was a macedonian song John. Please explain how it is macedonian and why can't I understand the lyrics.

I was referring merely to the music, Bill. I said that to me it seems to be definitely Macedonian. But I'm no expert on this, so I don't know. However, the lyrics are Greek and my thought was that maybe they used a Macedonian song with Greek lyrics.

Understand, I would have to listen to it again to give an opinion on the music once I get internet again. This blackberry is driving me nuts. From memory though it did not sound anything like macedonian Mabe because the musical instruments used gave it to much a Greek /Turkish chiftateli sound......if you know what I mean.

Just heard it again John. I now know what. You mean. It does sound Macedonian music but a Greek song.

I don't know where I heard the music that sounds something you would dance the chiftetli from. My bad.

Maybe you just had heard another version of it. Who knows how many "remixes" they have come up with it in order to make it sound more Greek. However, the version that I know is this one and seems to be more "nas".

That sound has a somewhat sound of the Florina Western Macedonia area dont you think? Its interesting the different types of music and tones from different parts of Macedonia :rmacedonia

The song is another crappy cover Payner/Planeta Music and the hot models/singers who apart from looking great have very little musical talent at all, in my opinion. They are no different than consumer products targeted at a sex hungry Bulgarian/Balkan market, and for this the Bulgarians now have a reputation for being the whores of the Balkans. if anything the song by Malina and Azis is influenced by Turkish music. As soon as I listened to the song i thought that i had heard it before, it is a popular Serbian song, however I cannot think of the name. BUT, i looked at the comments and apparently it was originally a Greek song, as is often the case.

Much of the stuff produced by Grand Music (Serbian, Pink Television) and Payner Music (Bulgarian, Televizija Planeta) is either copied from Turkish, Greek or other European music. People who listen to songs from a range of Balkan countries would soon realise how much the music industry recycles and reuses songs. It makes money, but it devalues the quality and diversity of the music in my opinion.

Good to see the young boy in the second video embracing music. Good for him.

I honestly don't know, Makedonetz. My only experience with Macedonian music is from that area, ie. Lerin and Voden. And according to this you seem to be right; it sounds that it is from that region. However, are there many differences throughout the regions?

[Makedonetz]

JohnMKD

I belive the tones and instruments might be somewhat different. Here are two types let me know if you hear a difference.

Kostur Region


Makedonija --Egejska pesna


Mala Prespa/Florina Region

Thanks for this.
I can understand the difference, yes; although I'm not a musician to describe it. However, personally I think I am more used to the third version of them (from Lerin). I looove Macedonian music

[Makedonetz]

Yes i love music from every part of our Beutiful Country :rmacedonia
