By the way Samsied, which Chifteteli are you referring to? The Turkish one?

Good question... I don't know very much about Tsifteteli, what I have actually seen has been your youtube clips so it I suppose I like the Turkish one? My spelling was probably just habit from how I spell the rhythm. Thanks for the correction. I would probably also enjoy seeing the Greek style as I am curious what it looks like after reading some of Maria's previous posts on the old forum and always enjoy Maria's performance clips so far. Watching your performance, I saw some of the individual expression that I like watching in other styles like beledi so I included it in my list. I am obviously not an expert.
