Artist description Çiftetelli...the famous-notorious dance of the Balkans, Mediterranean area and the Near East... Under this name four musicians living in Vienna/Austria have come together to form a joyful party, whose spirited music doesn't leave one's legs calm... Accompanied by the sweeping sound of bouzouki, oud, flute, ney, guitar, darbouka and double-bass the ensemble sings merry to bitter-romantic songs from Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and Macedonia, from Aserbaidjan and Armenia; the dances achieve a broad spectrum beginning by Zeybeks to Zeibekikos, from Karsilamas to Kalamatiano, from Roman to Rebetiko, from Horon to Harmandali, and from Chasapo Serviko to... ...just 'Çiftetelli'...
