Stellar performance! Thanks for sharing! I am learning to play the Mandolin at the moment, knowing nothing about music theory. After I get comfortable with the Mandolin, I'm getting a Buzuki. What a rad instrument!

Great! However what I only from this video is that 5 instruments are required to play Zorbas. :) By the way, is there violin in original version? It sounds like a Yiddish song with violin. But I love this song... Though being a Turk, I have a Greek part, I guess. Long live Theodorakis!!!
