This is good straightforward music to use for pan-hellenic dancing. Some of the arrangements also have a touch of klezmer. The cd may lack some of the more thrilling and fascinating aspects you can find in authentic recordings of traditional music from different regions of Greece with it´s obviously un-schoolarly approach, but it´s very useful if you work with circle dancing or sacred dancing etc.
