A short piece of traditional music - I won't call it Greek or Turkish - you decide.
 
It's a traditional Anatolian lullaby, performed by somebody of Anatolian origin, and Turkish words are heard.
 
The instrument, called "santouri" in Greek, is of Persian origin.
 
An image of Istanbul appears behind the stage often...

The instrument looks awesome I've never seen one before is it common in Greece?, the singing voice/style is reminicent and similar to some Turkish ballad's, sounds lovely and very moving.

Bleda for now on you are my best arkadash
If you want just say to me to send you some very good Sfakianakis links!!!



This instrument is called santouri,common in the islands and was common in Minor Asia(where this "miracle-kid" Areti Ketime is from(her grandparents I mean).
This song and melody is nanourisma-cradlesong and its panhellenic,it is sang by mothers and grandmothers to lull the kids...It sound very simiral to some byzantine hymns.

I found some samples of santouri:
Aivaliotikos
San ta Marmara tis Polis-Like the marbles of the City
Pername(Mytilini)
Geranotikos syrtos(Mytilini)
Ta xyla

In Iranian (especially Kurdish & Persian) traditional music it is very common.

It is the ancestor of the piano.

I think the Chinese may have acquired it from Tajikistan, since it is also common there.

It is called the Santoor.

I have never seen the Chinese version, but there are several styles - the use of this instrument is diverse around the Iranian geographical area (various tribes and people using it). How diverse is it in the Far East? If it is limited only to China then it is probable that it definitely is Near Eastern in Origin.

The only similar Chinese instrument I can think of has the strings plucked rather than hit with the hammer, though I don't know what it is called.

"Kanun" derives from the Greek word κανων(Kanon)='measuring rod; rule'.
Kanun is also simiral to Psalterion

Very soon people in this forum will start to discuss who invented Harmonic minor -- Greeks or Turks. And somebody will explain us that "Harmony" is Greek word Wink
