In 1927, an Istanbul-born Greek musician, Tetos Demetriades, having recently translocated to the US, recorded a piece of music he remembered from his youth. “Misirlou”, loosely translated as “Egyptian Girl”, was a swaying, erotic folk song performed in the rebetiko style that was popular among Greek Anatolians: “The sweet way you look at me lights flames in my heart . . . honey seeps from your lips.” The mesmerising and catchy melody, not credited with a composer, proved popular and the song was performed in a variety of styles in subsequent years. It also became something of what we would today call a “world music sensation”: versions were recorded in Arabic and Yiddish, and various communities of the eastern Mediterranean laid claim to the original melody.

Прекрасно! У каждого народа Мира свои обычаи, культура. Но, посмотрите на их лица, они радуются жизни. Народ всех национальностей хочет счастья, мира, а не войны. Смотришь и вмосте с ними радуешься их радостью.
Нам ваем нужно беречь Мир, беречь людей.. Спасибо за сьемку, очень красиво. ❤

Very nice cover... Amazing voice
Misirlou / Μισιρλού is a very old song, a Eastern Mediterranean song.
Typical Greek Anatolian music (Byzantine) mixed with Arabic melodies.
