Sirtaki or syrtaki (Greek: συρτάκι) is a popular dance of Greek origin, choreographed by Giorgos Provias for the 1964 film Zorba the Greek. It is not a traditional Greek folkdance, but a mixture of the slow and fast versions of the hasapiko dance. The dance, and the accompanying music by Míkis Theodorakis, are also called Zorbá's dance, Zorbas, or "the dance of Zorba".

Warum spricht heutzutage jeder nur von den Pleitegriechen? Europa hat so viel profitiert von dieser Kultur, diese Musik ist so wunderschön und berührend. Danke Griechenland.

Hello 👋
Today, the composer of Sirtaki and the songwriter of Zorbas Mikis Theodorakis passed away. May he rest in peace
RIP Miki (Zorba) - Legendary composer
This was Theodorakis' great accomplishment to make everyone in the World to feel like a Greek for 3 min at least...to take a glimpse of what it feels like to be under the everlasting Greek Sun and above the Eternal Blue waters of the Aegean🇬🇷🌞🌊 Great adaption by Andre Rieu It’s pretty amazing to me as a Greek 🇬🇷to watch people enjoying this like Greeks.
M. Theodorakis is untouchable. All musicians admire him. Even the Beatles looked up to him. May he live 1,000 years!
How old is this song exactly?
@@JimmyMcGillsg 1964 but the main theme earlier. 1963
I adore Greeks, their music, wine, hospitality, generous nature's. I've visited most of the Islands, and spent 4 years in Pafos. I miss them so much the food and most of all the music. Although, this is always played for tourists, you can't sit still whilst listening 😁
don't matter how they dance, the most important thing is that feel the song.
Какая красота! 👌Люди веселятся, Отдыхают! Как всё просто и здорово! Человек и должен так жить!
Simply a legendry music ! Love for Greece ! Ethernally !💚🤍♥
No other song brings so many people together! Have fun, live, love, enjoy life, listen to music! Kisses from Greece!
As a Turkish lot's of love and respect to "Komşu". Whenever I hear this song I can't stop dancing :)
What a beautiful day that I saw a Turkish listening Andre Rieu 🥰

Mikis Theodorakis created hundreds of magical tunes......I also believe he created a "heavy metal" sound before anyone even heard of heavy metal. I listen to him almost daily:)
Как радостно смотреть-народ гуляет, Прекрасное исполнение!
Сиртаки -- мой любимый танец: и хореография и мелодия разных исполнителей. Притягателен зажигательной музыкой, ритмикой. А такое массовое шоу выше всяких похвал. Всем участникам БРАВО!
Great music by great composer who unfortunately passed away yesterday. May his soul rest in peace. I read an article about him on BBC site in Russian. They wrote that famous Sirtaki dance was based on Greek dance of warriors called Hasapiko. I think it's a mistake because Hasapiko is famous dance of Greek butchers from Ottoman time Constantinople. Kasap in Turkish means butcher .
You are not good informed..this dance is based on the traditional dance of Crete.. 4.000 years old at least...from that area of Crete with name chania came mikis..that's why he want to be buried there....🇬🇷

I love the obvious joy this man and his colleagues bring to the world! 👏

My great appreciation to art and music of the European people even if I'm an Asian. My auntie told me that our great grandmother was half Greek and so I really appreciate the Greek dance art & culture. The waltz reminds me of the great waltz composer Johann Strauss it made me sobbed. What a great festival you've done Sir Andre Rieu. Thank you for reviving the Strauss party! God bless you all out there.
Don’t know why this is the only song that brings tears of joy for me

PROUD TO BE GREEK!!
PROUD to be HELAASS ha haha
I am a Turk. Even though we had great problems with the Greeks in the past, our sincerity and sincerity dating back centuries have not disappeared. In fact, Greece was one of the first countries to help Turkey during the great earthquake on February 6, 2023. Likewise, if there is any problem in Greece, we Turks are ready to push our limits for our neighbor. 🇹🇷❤️🇬🇷 But remember, baklava is Turkish😂

Wonderful tribute to the beautiful people of Greece xxxxxxxx
C'est ma musique préférée depuis que je suis toute petite (environ 6 mois) et même maintenant à 50 ans je l'écoute encore régulièrement. Petite je dansais dessus dans mon parc en me trémoussant. Jeune j'ai "essayer" de danser le sirtaki. Maintenant, c'est mon coeur et mes souvenirs qui dansent pour moi, j'ai plus les jambes pour bouger comme ça
how talented is this man!!! And how much does he love his music
Какие счастливые люди которые видят и слушают вас
Theodorakis was specially Blessed when composed this music. Sirtaki is much more than an instrumental music. It's a musical masterpiece that translates the genuine Greek lifestyle. I believe it', and always will be, the best translation of the usual Greek People happiness. Sirtaki also, was a magic conspiration though Anthony Quinn's performance in cinema. I can say the same about Andre Rieu. When people listen to the first Sirtaki chords playing, it begins an uncontrollable wish to dance. Theodorakis got eternity much more before than he passed way. He always will be remembered in all the World by his masterpiece. Greek party is not a party without Sirtaki. I'm not a Greek descendant, and my heart beats so strong. I can imagine this feeling into the Greek hearts. Certainly, Heaven was in party when received Theodorakis' soul.
και στον αλλο κόσμο θα είσαι πάντα μέσα στής καρδιές μας. ..and in the other world you will be inside our hearts. Καλό ταξείδι ΜΙΚΗ
Quando la musica veniva composta per unire le genti, per fraternizzare, per stare assieme. Come ci vorrebbe oggi... I love you
Muy bonito ambiente. Propiciado por la música. Felicidades
Καλό ταξίδι αθάνατε Μίκη!
