Greek Turkish Shared Musics - Cezayir / Patinada tou Gamou

The tune Cezayir (Jezayir, Tziziair) is found as a folk tune in several regions of Greece and Turkey. In several Greek islands, especially of the Cyclades group, it is played as a "patinadha", a processional or walking tune for weddings. The name of the tunes seems to indicate an Arabic origin. Here, I present three variants from Greece - from the islands of Naxos and Sifnos (an old 1930 recording) as well as an old recording by the great mainland clarinetist, Nikos Karakostas; and two versions from Turkey, both from north/northwest Anatolia (Kastamonu, Karabuk, Safranbolu) played on the kemane (similar to the Greek Thracian lyra) and the violin. Here the tune is often played to accompany the kocek dancers.
