I am a huge fan of Greek traditional music. Can we create some sticky threads where we can post this music. For example, Ipirotika, Tsamiko, Kritika, Pontiaka etc, etc.... As time goes by if we come across a video worth being placed in one of these threads we can place it in it's proper place. Just a suggestion on my part.

You are just jealous rex. ;D
The Ballos Syrtos (Greek: Μπάλος, from the Italian ballo, dance) is one of the best known island dances in Greece. Another version, known as Burçak tarlası oyunu in Turkey, is popular in the İzmir, Tokat, Amasya and Yozgat regions. There are also different versions in other Balkan countries. The melody of a ballos is generally joyous and lyrical which is typical of the music of the Aegean Islands. This couples' dance incorporates all the elements of courtship: attraction, flirtation, display of masculine prowess and feminine virtue, pursuit,and rejection followed by eventual capture and surrender. Its origin is in the island culture. Men could not approach women easily, so they created this dance in order to "flirt" with them. There are various forms of the ballos around the islands. The simplest is one in which a single couple goes through a series of spontaneous figures. In another version many couples dance simultaneously as if alone on the dance floor. Yet another version is introduced by a Syrtos. And finally, in the most complicated form, a number of couples go through various figures, somewhat reminiscent of the European minuet. Ballos songs are popular and there are many of them. Some of the more popular Ballos songs are Ti se mellei esenane ("What do you mind?", Greece), Burçak Tarlası (Turkey), Ka mi ispadnala moma Katerina (Republic of Macedonia), etc.

Momogeri,a Pontian custom.pontosworld.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=411&Itemid=90Momogeri or Momoeri (Grk: Ìùìüãåñïé Þ Ìùìüåñïé) is a Pontic custom which dates back to ancient times. The custom which today is primarily a satirical one, was usually performed during the pre Christmas period (Dec 15) up until the middle of January (Jan 15) and sometimes even till the month of February. Due to the geographical isolation of Pontian Greeks, the custom was a form of acknowledgment of their Greek origins, and also a way to forget the hardships they often endured whilst under Turkish rule. In 400AD, Asterios, Ôhe Bishop of Amaseia, refers to a loud celebration of people which included disguises on the 1st of January each year. The Pontic custom of the Momogeri is still alive today particularly in various parts of Greece where Pontic Greeks reside. In the week before new year, men will dress in various costumes, each costume symbolising a part of Pontic culture and folklore. The bear symbolises strength, the old woman a symbol of the past, the bride for the future, the horse for the development, the doctor for health, the soldier for defense, the goat for food and Father Christmas symbolises the New Year which will arrive in a few days. Today the ritual is more of a recreational type whereas in the past it was considered magical and soul cleansing.
