Many thanks to the Greek Restaurant "METEORA" in Hannover, Germany, for providing the location.

Hadjidakis was known for his ability to blend elements of Greek folk music with modern classical and jazz influences, creating compositions that captured the essence of Greek culture and tradition."Horos Hasapikos" is inspired by the traditional Greek dance known as "Χασάπικος Χορός," which has roots in urban centers of Greece. The piece features lively rhythms and melodies that evoke Greek festivities' energetic and celebratory atmosphere. The melody was composed for the soundtrack of the film "Never on Sunday" from 1960, starring Melina Mercuri and Jules Dassin, and is a characteristic representation of Greek musical heritage and Hadjidakis's artistic legacy.
