- "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......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 UA-cam does not allow that.
Alejandro, congratulations from Athens Greece 🇬🇷
Thank you Lefteris!
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..
From Athens to the world, Zorba’s spirit still alive

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
Damn, this made me get up and start dancing round my living room like a loon
Bravo "Alejandro the greek", nice version!
Thank you sir!
Gotta love Zorba! I am 73, living in South Africa! Still imagine I can dance to this!😂
Greeks thank you for the respectful approach to the music - emblem of the modern Greece
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?
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
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!!!
I am the Greek and your job is very nice.....Ζορμπας μόνο ρε Ελληναρες
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 🎶

Gracias señor!!! Saludos desde Aténas, Grécia..
Grexicano 👏👏👏
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!
Best version on UA-cam! Greetings from a Greek Cellist!
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 🙏
What a beautiful comment, thank you so much!
@@alejandroaguanta-classical2901
We thank you for your great art-work
Keep up 👍👍👍
Opaaaa....... from Greece with love
Thank you Polydoros!
Your notes are so strong and clean! Excellent work!!!
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

Prekrasno muziciranje, prekrasna verzija! Veliki pozdrav iz Omiša, Hrvatska 😊
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.
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 🎶
Opa
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!
Beautiful and awesome. Amen!

I am Greek. Congradulations is a very poor word to describe your talent!thank you for the nice performance!
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!
Precise, accurate, melodic with greek soul....Bravo!
You can really tell he is one with the guitar. Excelent work.
@Alejandro Aguanta. Un placer escucharlo. Saludos desde Argentina
Thank you Alejandro you made my heart smile
My pleasure!
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
Amazing! Love from our beautiful 🇬🇷 Thanks a lot!
Incredible. Bravo. The best solo rendition of this classic I've ever heard.
Wow so interesting and awesome I loved it so so much 👏😍🥰.greetings from Athens Greece🇬🇷
Yes yes 100% 🇬🇷🙂🇬🇷🙂🇬🇷🙂🇬🇷❤
I will never tire of this piece of music. Thank you! You're very gifted.
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.
That’s it. I’m learning the classical guitar!.. Your playing is superb. Thank you for sharing!

Im glad to bring back memories, thank you!!
Full respect to this guy, what a legend on the accoustic guitar !

It's "almost" as entertaining just to watch his fingers fly over the frets. Beautifully done.
