Common Greek & Albanian Folk Songs 🇬🇷 🇦🇱

🇬🇷 🇦🇱 These two neighbors have been together for thousands of years. This brings a natural common taste in music, singing, dancing and fashion. The region of Epirus hosts so many beautiful songs and dances. Many of them are shared, loved and performed by both Greeks and Albanians. Each side does not know how many similarities there are and unfortunately most of the times these similarities bring nationalistic reactions with questions like "who did it first" and many more. It really does not matter. In our times, we ought to embrace our similarities and support the strong ties and brotherhood #greece and #albania have.

South Albanians and Northern Greeks once were called Epirus. So we are all one blood. We are all epirotes. But politics divided us in Greece and Albania. Love you my greek epirotes brothers ❤ From Vlora(Avlona)

South albanians so many commons with as . Even polyplonia ,iso polyphonia ,isokrates . Music from the orhodox church from byzantio

My dad is full Greek from the Peloponnese. I did a dna test and found many distant Albanian cousins. Dna tests never lie when it comes to cousin matching. I see this is common between Greeks and Albanians so there must be old relation and shared history between mainland Greeks and Albanians.

[@lindaS_]

If you check DNA tests that people publish online, from Kosovo all the way down south, Albanians result in the largest percentage Greek/Italian.. Culture, religions and languages can change or be imposed on people but DNA remains

[@m.m.7183]

@@lindaS_ the ethnicity estimation is not always correct. What is Italian/Greek dna exactly? What is Balkan dna exactly? What is West Asian or North African? Greeks can get a mix of all these estimations depending on dna company. But dna cousin matching doesn’t lie.

[@DCCrisisclips]

@@m.m.7183 It's because most Albanians once a upon a time were Greek. In the late 1100's Albanian ruling class moved into North Albania and with the eventual sac of Constantinople and partition of the empire, the Albanian ruling class took advanyage and became Catholic and started Latinisation process of the Greeks, Albanian ruling class managed to reached to Agelokstro near Agrinio but thankfully their latinisation process failed their and hundreds of years later Epirus was rehellenised but as you see most Abanians are Greeks, not all but a large percentage were Albanised by the Albanian Pro Latin ruling class.

[@lekdukaxhini3392]

​@@DCCrisisclipsStop this pseudo history!!

[@lekdukaxhini3392]

It is because during medievale times, Peloponese was inhabitated by many albanian settlers that later become arvanites.

Bravo Vassilis!! Actually it's NOT who had it first. It's the culture of their region. So, it's theirs: Greek - Albanian. Albanian-Greek. No surprises there. The most interesting are the Albanian-Greek villages that comprise the border of Southern Albania//Northern Epirus [actually the same place] that is the only section of that region that has a polyphonic singing tradition unique only to them. Interestingly, no where else in either country has this type of music. These villages sing the same exact songs in 2 languages using polyphony. Now that is what I call a real shared culture. Cheers from NYC!!!

Nuk ka epirot grek, epirotë e vërtet ishin çamët, sotë atje në Epiriotë janë vlleh dhe turq otodoks bizantin, ka dhe çam ortodoks. Vllehet janë nga Vllahia ose më sakt nga Rumania. Epiri ësht il, ilenis, yll, ilir, ilios.

Every balk knows it. Accept it and stop stealing other people's history and lands. Make Sqiptar great with fair play.

[@sertao8041]

@@albarmy1 Say something in ancient Sqiptar. Your best point is that you understand arvanitika more than us. Don't worry I can answer that. Have you ever heard a Pontiac and a Cypriot? We can't understand them while the Turks understand something. Does it make them Turks? Serbs can fully understand Croatian. Are serbs croats? In the Balkans it doesn't matter what language you speak. The British thought that everyone who speaks Albanian is Albanian because that's how things work in Britain. Here things work different. The fake state here is SQIPTAR.

This is what I always couldn’t understand why Greek politicians don’t say the truth to ordinary Greeks that. Albanians and Greeks have more in common more than any other nation. To me they are like twins basically same people or same tribes somehow got on their own ways god knows when but it doesn’t change the fact they are same people

@@ahad1609 nice for both of you. But you been Albanian and your friend been Greek has nothing to do with your friendship. You are friends because you both like the same music, both like the same football team, or you trust each other so much, so you share your secrets. Ethnicity has nothing to do with friendship.
