Greek Music
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for Greek music. Classical songs that elderly Greeks would enjoy as well as more contemporary music for a mixed CD I have to make. Thanks in advance! :-D

Contact Maria Aya, she is our lovely knowledgeable Greece resident dancer. I believe one of her students has a lot of knowledge about music. You could PM her.

I have worked in a Greek Restaurant before, so I have a few ideas for songs, but that restaurant provided music. The current one asked me to choose the music. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. :-D P.S. Yes, for dancing only. Last edited by LaGringita; 03-12-2010 at 11:55 AM.. |

I don't know about the OPA-factor, but there are two classics which there are many versions of and which everybody knows...
