Hi Maria, the third is by a band/American Tribal Bellydance troupe called Gypsy Caravan based in Portland, Oregon. They don't claim to be gypsies, the cd it is from is a collection of the different rhythms taught/used in American bellydance. The reason I included this, is that several American teachers I have had teach this as a rhythm called Chifteteli. I always assumed the rhythm is used in chiftiteli music. Hearing the two that you confirmed are Greek chifteteli, made me wonder if I was mistaken. I had been taught that Greek chiftitelli is fast and read that the name refers to a stringed instrument.
I like the Greek songs as well--especially the second one.
