Zorbas

Zorbas (Zorba's Dance) is a song by Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis. It is based on two traditional Cretan songs, "Armenohorianos Syrtos" and "Kritiko syrtaki", composed by Giorgis Koutsourelis. The song featured in the 1964 film Zorba the Greek, for which Theodorakis wrote the soundtrack, and became extremely popular around the world. It is now commonly played and danced to in Greek taverna.
