Oops, perhaps I mean the Greek style. I just looked at your clip again and noticed it was Greek. Sorry!

What are other folkloric styles?

I like all of them to be honest with you, but I do have a special place for Tribal Fusion. I really like the combination of styles and cultures.

Hi Reen.Blom, I am not meaning to ignore you. I am not sure what you are asking. I may be using the term "folkloric" wrong. By folkloric I mean either group folk dances (like debke) or solo social/recreational dances (like beledi) and the staged performance versions of those. Many of these folk and social dances are part of the roots of Raqs Sharqi/oriental dance/bellydance. In response to your question about whether tsftitelli is a folkloric dance style--I think it is based on my understanding (or lack of) as it seems to be a social dance style with a long tradition. I don't know every style of folk or folkloric style dance--if that is what you are asking. I hope that makes more sense!

Dear Reen.Bloom, don't' worry about asking that

It is normal that you cannot distinguish the language of the song, isn't it? The song is actually Greek and it is called "Tha spaso koupes" (I will break cups), but since it is very old, one of the first generation Rembetiko Tsifteteli, it is sung bilingually Greek/Turkish. This means, the strophes are in Greek and the refrain in Turkish. This version I'm dancing to is from the 80ies, sung by a famous Greek singer called Elevtheria Arvanitaki. I'm glad you like it
