I've been thinking: What do you guys consider to be our most unique instrumental oro/song? I'm considering this from a marketing perspective, in that i've thought about the way different tunes seem to typify different nations. It's usually very simple tunes without words, as they are much easier to be identified internationally. Below are some examples of other marketed/famous songs. They're always in a major key (meaning they sound happy/positive rather than serious/negative, which is a minor key).
They're usually used in either tourist ads, or on travel features on tv shows where they show a montage of places in between the tv presenters taking them through a particular place.
Consider the Italian Tarantella:

The Serbian užičko kolo:
Uzicko kolo - YouTube
Israeli/Jewish Hava Nagila:
Hava Nagila - Trio Balkan Strings Live in The Kolarac Concert Hall, Belgrade May 2010 - YouTube
Zorba's dance which is widely marketed by the modern greeks:
Greek Dance - Sirtaki. Igor Moiseev's Ballet - YouTube
Brazil: The girl from Ipanema
Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz: THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA - 1964 - YouTube
The Girl From Ipanema - Antonio Carlos Jobim - YouTube
