The album Greek Folk And Popular Dances 2 by Various is a true masterpiece of traditional Greek music. The album is a collection of 20 tracks, each showcasing a different folk or popular dance from various regions of Greece. The album features a wide range of instruments, including the bouzouki, clarinet, violin, and accordion, among others, which create a rich and vibrant sound that transports the listener to Greece.
The album begins with the lively track "Kalamatianos," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. Other standout tracks include "Tsifteteli," which features a sultry and seductive rhythm, and "Syrtos," a traditional dance from the island of Crete that is known for its fast-paced footwork.
The album also includes several slower, more contemplative tracks, such as "Hasapiko," which showcases the mournful sound of the clarinet, and "Karsilamas," a dance that is often performed at weddings and other celebrations.
