World Music on Continental Drift

So you thought Greek food is amazing; wait until you get a taste of its music! Being one of the most ancient civilization, Greece is home to Bouzouki, a traditional Greek instrument, which you can here in many of the tracks in the following playlist. The playlist also features some modern, dance, and folk music from Greece most of which are instrumental (as always diverse).
