- "Zorba's dance" became a huge hit in the 60's around the world, even nowadays people dance to this tune when I perform it.
This song was also my introduction to guitarist Cacho Tirao (responsible for this amazing arrangement), I became a fan of his style of playing and changed the way I play guitar forever!
Composer: Mikis Theodorakis
Alejandro Aguanta

I am Greek and I've listened to this song thousands of times. This is one of the best versions ever. The guy kept the soul of the song intact. You rocked it Alejandro! 👏👏👏😍
Why thank you Danal!
In Georgia we call it Sirtaki. Is that another name of this music or we're wrong? Never heard it being called Zorba
@@free3dmodelsfbx Sirtaki is the type o dance. Zorba is the name of the song. :)
@@steamy10 I see now, thanx man!
@@free3dmodelsfbx it's the theme music from the American movie called Zorba the Greek which is based on Nikos Kazantzakis' book called Alexis Zorbas.

This is amazing! Your name is now officially Alexis Agouantopoulos!!!!😉😉
I like that!
@@alejandroaguanta-classical2901 he wasn't correct, you are Aléxandros Aguantaΐdis 🙂
Of course there is the ending-akis from kreta Island
Like the composer Mikis Theodorakis😊🇬🇷
So Mr Agounta your new name is Agouantakis
@@dimitrisaivaliotis5616 καλά, καλά, έχεις δίκιο, αφού Τεοδωρακης ☺️
@@dimitrisaivaliotis5616 ..agree... hahahaha..
This......this my new friends, is living proof that MUSIC IS THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE OF PEACE.
Mine too, I bought the same CD in Greece! I dances by myself, I'm no near know how, but I have fun, going to the memory lane, actually the owner of the small store where I bought the CD danced wt me, kool memory!
We all should just dances when ever we liked the music, anywhere!!
God is Lovey; And
Love is Peace✌️
Holy words 😇 ... and universal brotherhood, love and peace are all that we really need and all that we just should long for ...
There is a Zorba spirit within all of us
Music is humanity’s eternal language
I like music from all over the planet as long as it hits my inner soul
and food
I would give this a thumbs up every time I listened to it, but RUclips does not allow that.
From Athens to the world, Zorba’s spirit still alive

Damn, this made me get up and start dancing round my living room like a loon
I love how he got into his beat as well. He hears the music in his ears. Highly gifted and a God Blessing.
Bravissimo
That is usually where you hear music
Alejandro, congratulations from Athens Greece 🇬🇷
Thank you Lefteris!
Greetings from Türkiye...I like this performance. I also like Greek music.
Impossible! XD ( No hate to turks, just the turkish goverment)
thank you vere much, cheers from Greece
Yes, government sucks, but, I really love Turkish people,
Love from a Mexican, brother!
That's such a lovely reply 😊. I really love this music 🎶. Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
You're welcome arkadasim
Bravo "Alejandro the greek", nice version!
Thank you sir!
Hearing this played so accurately (spot on timing, rhythm, build in speed and emphasis) is just awesome. So many guitarists put the accents in the wrong place or play some of smaller quick parts too fast and end up having to “relocate” the position.
Perfect.
Yeah I tried to learn this recently, and I can say that it is a LOT harder than it first sounds, even when it's fairly slow it is actually quite awkward to accent correctly, this version is pretty much perfect
From Tenerife,Canary islands,a big bravo!!!
Greetings from Greece! Amazing! You also have the name of Alexander the Great! 🇬🇷🎶👏👏👏🙏
It's a cool name I guess 😉
@@alejandroaguanta-classical2901 Excelante Alejandro!
Brilliant extension of Cacho Tirao!
Have you thought about Pajaro Campano?Be good to see your version of it!
@@renefinch I am practicing that song as we speak! It's crazy fast haha
@@alejandroaguanta-classical2901 Good one Alej,you can do it bc the descending run using "fire" from the 3rd A grouping on Zorba the Greek,achieved,I.m trying to figure it out,so fast,yet precise!
Pajaro,-melody and bass at the same time,or in time,difficult in parts!Subscribed!
@@alejandroaguanta-classical2901 You can add to Cacho's version?
That is what I call perfection. Doesn't get any better than that. Bravo!!!!
try Chet Atkins.
This is a great performance but if you want absolute perfection search for Cacho Tirao version, the best ever
Chet Atkins and Cacho Tirao are my idols 🎶

Amazing Performance.

Love this version of Zorba! Great job Alejandro (Aléxandros)!
Greetings to our Greek brothers and sisters. The fact that the Greeks had a profound and powerful influence on the world including the Latino world is not lost on those of us of Spanish decent. Hell, Anthony Quinn is famous for playing Zorba the Greek.
One of the best replies I've ever seen. Yes, the Greeks defined the Western world and eventually our civilisation.
Its a fascinating culture for sure

Ouzo!👍

I don’t know any Greek music but always when I hear this tune - I feel like I have Greek ancestry 🤩 I feel it in my bones! Such is the language of music 🎶

The film is based on the novel "Zorba the Greek" by Nikos Kazantzakis, and the composer of the melody is Mikis Theodorakis. Thank you Alejandro, for the beautiful playing!

Beautiful and awesome. Amen!
Amazing! Love from our beautiful 🇬🇷 Thanks a lot!
Gotta love Zorba! I am 73, living in South Africa! Still imagine I can dance to this!😂
Wonderful job on creating a timeless classical guitar version. I can say that as a Greek (half Cretan) American, this song originates from the island of Crete, so I honorably nickname you “Alexandros Aguantakis.” Well done, bravo.
The honor is all mine
Precise, accurate, melodic with greek soul....Bravo!
Best version on RUclips! Greetings from a Greek Cellist!
From Athens, Bravoo !
Super 😢👏🏻🇫🇷
Wonderful version - brings out the masterful compositional values. I wish Mr Theodorakis were still here to endorse it.
Absolutely powerful rendition. I want it played as my coffin leaves the church, with everyone dancing.
The only this missing is the plates crashing in the floor! Wow!
