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!!!

Okay, now we are going to do one more song which is going to combine two dance styles. The Fasapiko(ph), which is a very traditional slow dance and the hasakoseviko(ph) which is a very fast, lively dance. And here is a song you all know called Zorba, (Music playing), starts off just the guitar and then one bazuki comes in.

And now, the 2nd bazuki comes in harmony (music playing)

And the bass of course (music playing)

And that was your bazuki lesson. Thank you and see you around.
