The rhythm was common in Greeks of Anatolia(modern day turkey) and the Turks of the area, later it became an actual song by a Greek singer with lyrics and it is about the love of a Greek Christian to an Egyptian Muslim woman (Misirlou) something which was taboo at the time (1920s) it first became a success in Greece in a rebetiko type of music and then became a success in the US and all around the world. There are many different types of this song and it is the definition of Greek music in that time. Eastern rhythms with Greek and some western instruments. A perfect mix of eastern and western cultures

It starts off low and softly, then begins to surround you like a pair of loving arms and then in all its glory has you mesmerized in the ancient Greek land of old. Some real easy listening. Thanks, George Traganos

You're welcome! (I'm not him, but I'm sure that's what he would say).

Turn up the stereo, play that music looouuuuuud. PUMP IT. Louda! PUMP IT. Louda!

Misirlou, originally "Mısırlı" from turkish, means "Egyptian" in turkish, tells about the stroy of the immigrated people from Anatolia to Athens.

Misirlou. Old Greek/ Turkic melody. Beautiful!❤

Through the worlds

Great Rendition of Misirlou

appropriately presented in its true Hellenic Middle Eastern style. "ZOUME YIA PANTA"

What makes this kind of music from the Mideast and the Orient so intriguing are the much, not less of Harps, Flutes or Piccolos and the Masses of different stringed instruments. Listen to each and you will begin to appreciate the talent not only of the performer but of the tools or instruments and how they work around the music. Enjoy all of it as much of It as do, George Traganos

Most of this music is modal, eg Misirlou, which is Greek. Phrygian [corresponds to Rag Bhairavi], Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, etc. It all comes from India originally. The over 500 ragas in India include all these possibilities. Chinese 6 tone and Japanese 5 tone scales are also from India.

@@eugenegauggel1000 The melody is purely arab bro. Hijaz is the place where it originally appeared, in the arabic peninsula. Which ,by the way, the name thereafter the whole scale is called. Ma'qam which means in arabic the "mode" or the "scale" if you wish. Needless to say that this maqam is deeply rooted (or vice versa) in the Islamo-arabic culture. You can refer to some melodies from the Indalusian-spanish sphere of music and you will have much of something. I might be wrong when it comes to other versions but when it comes to this one; it has the half semi-tones something undefinable in the European music.

Meserlou has so many emotions: pain, excitement and love.

@@sarahbambi it’s a Greek song with vibes of Arabic, Egyptian and Middle Eastern origin. It’s about a person of Greek orthodox faith wanting to get married to a person of muslim faith and how much of a struggle it is to go about it. The original was sung by Tetos Demetriades in the year 1927. That my friend is the name of Greek person.

@@dimitrikarapetridis1726 True, but the origins of the melody are quite a bit older and it is traditional all around Eastern Mediterranean. In fact I wouldn't at all be surprised if this was one of the themes used for cantastoria in Ottoman empire.

Yes, RIP Dick Dale, but he didn't write this song. It's a very old tune first recording 1927 Greece. Recorded in the US 1946. Dale probably knew it from his Lebanese background. His version is close to how it's played on the oud. This tune was know to Arabs, Greeks, Turks, Armenians, Sephardic Jews, North Africans and others throughout the middle east.

The song and the music is written by a Greek from smyrni, Tetos dimitriadis! There is no turkey, just Greece, and the whole world knows it !!! It's time we Greek's get our lands back!!! Russia is waiting for God's call! ΔΌΞΑ ΣΟΙ Ο ΙΗΣΟΎΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΌΣ Ο ΘΕΌΣ ΠΆΝΤΩΝ ΈΝΕΚΕΝ, ΑΜΉΝ.

The female singer cannot be heard, and that's a consequence of the sound engineer. So, it could have been better.
