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! 👏👏👏😍
@@free3dmodelsfbx it's the theme music from the American movie called Zorba the Greek which is based on Nikos Kazantzakis' book called Alexis Zorbas. m.th-cam.com/video/2AzpHvLWFUM/w-d-xo.html
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✌️
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
@@alejandroaguanta-classical2901 Excelante Alejandro! Brilliant extension of Cacho Tirao! Have you thought about Pajaro Campano?Be good to see your version of it!
@@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!
We Greeks say that our songs have soul and for that is hard for others to feel them But my brother you... are already Greek 😂♥️😂♥️😂♥️😂👍👍👍👍 Be blessed 🙏
I have filmed hundreds of Greek wedding and christening receptions and the dancing often ends with this song. The Greek dance to this song is incredible!
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 🎶
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.
I am an Aussie, 1st ⏱ l have had the privilege of watching this very talented guitarist play. Xcellent And l ❤ Zorba the Greek. Thx. Have added it 2 my play list 👍👌
Maravillosa versión! Excelencia pura !! El maestro Cacho Tirao de Argentina también hizo su versión de zorba también de excelente calidad , Alejandro todo mi respeto y admiración para ti .
This song changed my life when I first heard it on a Greek passenger ship on a voyage from Australia to Greece back in the 1960s. We danced and sang and drank ouzo every day. I became a lover of Greek culture and have visited Greece several times.
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!
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.
That is simply one of the most incredible performances I’ve ever seen and heard. Zorba with all its parts played on guitar by one person. Mind blowing. This is going on my iPod. I am now a fan. So young....so talented.
Haven't heard this song in 20+ years. Growing up in the 70's with a Greek Dad, this song brings tears to my eyes and so many memories of my Dad and I dancing to this in the front room and weddings.Thank you for the walk down memory lane. Well done Alejandro, well done!
Nailed it. Seriously dude, I'm in awe. How you can play something as challenging as that so spot-on and still have the room to play so beautifully.... incredible performance.
Greetings from Turkiye to my Greek friends, for the sake of the days when we drank "raki" and danced TOGETHER..!
I would give this a thumbs up every time I listened to it, but TH-cam does not allow that.
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!

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
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

Thank you Lefteris!
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
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 🎶

Not a bum note ever....and I watched every hand and finger movement. Classic and brilliant.
Wonderful version - brings out the masterful compositional values. I wish Mr Theodorakis were still here to endorse it.
Best version on TH-cam! Greetings from a Greek Cellist!
