A small correction. This is Greek music allright, but we call it "Cretan music" or "Critika" as we say in Greek.

@GabrielTravelerVideos 6 лет назад

Great, good to know. Loved the music.

@aetherion7 6 лет назад

..and another small correction. Cretans are not Hellenic but Cretans. Just as Minor Asians, pontics and cypriots

Hi Gabriel! Welcome to Crete. I was kind of disappointed because you said you prefer smaller islands...but there you are! Thanks for visiting our island. Enjoy it!

@GabrielTravelerVideos 6 лет назад

Thanks. Yeah I knew that Crete would be different and worth visiting. I'm going to Matala tomorrow which I'm looking forward to, it sounds really nice.

@PianowithPano 6 лет назад

Gabriel Traveler if you want to see impressive Venetian constructions (fortresses, walls, castles, monasteries, museums, noble houses, shipyards) you should definitely come to Chanià. The city "photographs "very clear all the faces of its history...you see Minoan ruins, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Arabic, Venetian, ottoman and newgreek (neoclassic) architecture. Crete is so big, you need months to discover the hole island. Enjoy Màtala!

Gabe, I've been a subscriber for awhile, but my Roku box just now fed me an option to watch via a "channel." Not sure if that's something you set up, and I've never gotten it for any other RU-vidr I subscribe to, but it's pretty cool. It's different than going to RU-vid first on the Roku--it take me straight to the videos, like any other "TV" show.. I like it!

@GabrielTravelerVideos 6 лет назад

Cool, yeah I've partnered with a company that set up the Roku channel.

Hi Gabriel, Welcome! Great to have you here! I think these are the Xylouris brothers Anthony and Nick from the traditional village of Anogia high in the mountains of Psiloritis I was talking about in my previous email. You should definitively stay in Anogia for a while and intermingle with the shephers who are also musicians over there. Unfortunately I don’t recognize the girl. Cretan music has many similar features with Celtic music. Bagpipes, flutes, fiddles, lutes, drums but has also been influenced by the East. There is even a documentary in English about their family. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A7BvYxAMazE.html

@Marianatassa 6 лет назад

Are those the sons of Psarogiorgis or Psarantonis? They are to young to be brothers of the legend Nikos Xylouris.

@Polychronisdrone 5 лет назад

Marianatassa Yes from Psarogiorgi. I think the girl is their sister. A family affair...

Awesome coverage as always, a nice fusion of the Mediterranean and Arabic music with beautiful girls around in some portions of the video. Gabriel you are an amazing guy and you are made to travel around the earth and sometimes . Intuitively, I think you have been traveling since ages. We are truly inspired with your videos and there is no day left when I don't watch them. I have seen this world through you. Keep it up. Congratulations on getting a new Go-Pro 7 I got to know from your another video of Crete, the color composition of the camera is good, the videos or images are as good as you previous camera. I do see a bit of clarity in the audio too. Please let me know when you come back to India sometime. Aseem New Delhi, IND

@mikeykeyes 6 лет назад

Music speaks one language. As a seasoned traveller Gaberiel you would recognise the Greek traditional music so much similar to Serbo-Croat, Albanian, Arabic, Turkish and then Indian classical music...tells you the common origin of people from that area into the middle east, South eastern Europe, Central Asia and the subcontinent.

@GabrielTravelerVideos 6 лет назад

Exactly.

@annivali4356 6 лет назад

Similar music doesn't necessarily refer to similar origin. It is usually more connected to the way different nations have influenced each other culturally throughout their history. The Greek culture was hugely mixed with the Middle-Eastern culture during the Hellenic times. Alexander the Great encouraged taking over different aspects of the cultures of the areas they occupied during that time.

@bluesky2770 6 лет назад

@Anni Vali. Alexander the Great respected the cultures and religions of the people of his empire, but did not actively incorporate their linguistic, cultural, political, aspects into Greek culture. In fact, the opposite happened,. People from throughout his empire (some 5,000,000 square miles wide) adopted Hellenic culture voluntarily. Classical Greek/Hellenic philosophy, mathematics, religion, art, ethics, law, and much more remained what they were well into the origin of Christianity, which then attempted to destroy ancient Hellenic culture.

@annivali4356 6 лет назад

@@bluesky2770 I was talking about music. And the cultures did mix. You can also hear strong influences of the Eastern cultures in Spanish folk and traditional music. I believe that this is mostly connected to the fact that Spain was under the rule of Moors for about eight centuries until 1492 when Fernando and Isabel started ruling. Italian traditional music between Spain and Greece does not have these influences. I'm not trying to argue with you. I just felt that the original comment was not based on knowledge of history but rather on emotions.

@bluesky2770 6 лет назад

@anni vali. Thanks for writing back. My comment to you was mainly referring to your statement : "Alexander the Great encouraged taking over different aspects of the cultures of the areas they occupied during that time". Alexander the Great never encouraged other Greeks to alter their culture.

@aetherion7 6 лет назад

Arch Stanton, No its not comparable with Bavarian German-whatever. Hellas is like italy, it is something uniqe only for those two countries in Europe. Crete is like Sicily. Peloponesse is like southern Italy up to Rome and from North Hellas(Central and up) is like Rome up to North Italy.

@bluesky2770 6 лет назад

@anna oikonomou. Anna, Cretan people's history has been part of Greece for thousands of years. Cretans speak Greek, are orthodox Christians like the vast majority of Greeks, and their DNA (Minoan DNA) very close to that of southern Greece (Peloponnese). Therefore, these people are of Greek origin and descent, and it is perfectly normal to say that Cretan music belongs in the greater family of Greek music. See this research paper. www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/08/greeks-really-do-have-near-mythical-origins-ancient-dna-reveals

@aetherion7 6 лет назад

Blue Sky, "...orthodox christians like vast majority of Greeks", and your point is? It is true what you are saying actually, which is pathetic and sad actually, since Christianity is not a Hellenic/European dogma/entity.
