Tsifteteli

The Tsifteteli (Greek: τσιφτετέλι; Turkish: Çiftetelli), is a rhythm and dance of Anatolia and the Balkans.[1] In Turkish the word means "double stringed", taken from the violin playing style that is practiced in this kind of music. There are suggestions that the dance existed in ancient Greece, known as the Aristophanic dance Cordax.[2] Nowadays it is to be found not only in Greece and Turkey, but also in the whole of the Southeastern Mediterranean region. Some types of the Çiftetelli that played in Turkey: Çiftetelli of Eskişehir, Bursa Çiftetellisi, Bahriye Çiftetelli, Çiftetelli of Adana, Çiftetelli of Keban, Balıkesir Çiftetellisi, Çiftetelli of Kemalpaşa (Arabic Çiftetelli), Çiftetelli of İnegöl, Çiftetelli of Gaziantep, Çiftetelli of Şanlıurfa, Çiftetelli of Trakya, Çiftetelli of Ada, Çiftetelli of Bandırma, and Çiftetelli of İstanbul, Çiftetelli of Merzifon.[1]
