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

[johnMKD]

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".

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.

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.

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.

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 ).

oh Le Le Le
YouTube - Μανώλης Μητσιάς. Ο Λε λε λε. Macedonian music

now that was very misleading and If the song was for sale I would return it and complain for false advertisement. When I read 'Macedonian Song' I was expecting to understand the lyrics, being Macedonian myself, but how disapointig the lyrics are grik and I have no doubt there are a few Turkish words in there. And don't get me started on the musical instruments used in this song.

Giorgos Dalaras



You know music has no arguments, quarrels, which i wish people could do aswell.

This song is ofc came from central Anatolia to Greece like most of other songs in there. I gotta say that Dalaras`s performance is quite good tough. Dalaras sings with down tempo but this is Turkish version of same song. There is "kanun" solo at the start. Song starts at 2:50min.;

Btw, Bulgarians have any music culture? Whenever i heard a tune from Bulgaria, all the musicians was gypsies and songs was gypsy style, nothing else. I know it because the gypsies in Turkey does exact same style of music here as in Bulgaria. You know, Gypsies are usually very good musicians.
