Greece is known for its cultural history and music happens to be an integral part of the Greek culture. In the present day, Greeks are spread all across the globe and hence they look for newer means to stay in pace with the music of their country. With the present technological age, the greek radio ( ???????? ????????? ) allows them to enjoy their favourite Greek songs at their own convenience.

The Greek folk traditions are greatly derived from the music played by them. These were known to be the base of all the religious songs or hymns that we hear today. The Greek folk music, as we popularly know today is divided into two musical movements – the Klephtic songs as well as the Akritic music. The Akritic music dates back to the 9th century and is known to be played by the protectors of the Byzantine Empire. On the other hand, the Klephtic music is monophonic in nature and makes use of no harmonic accompaniment.

The old traditional songs that we hear on the greek online radio ( ???????? online ????????? ) are accompanied by musical instruments such as guitars, clarinets, tambourines, violins as well as include some of the dance forms such as kalamatiano, syrto, hasaporserviko and tsamiko. Greek folk music is highly popular throughout Greece as well as amongst the communities in western countries like Canada, United States and Australia. On the other hand, the islands of Cyprus and a few parts of Turkey also have their music styles inspired by the Greeks.
