Hello dear Greeks, I am making a playlist from rock/metal music from different countries.

I made up some rules for my playlist

\- The song has to be in the native language (in one of them if there are more than one)

\- There need to be one song from each country

\- It would be great if the song involve a national instrument (optional)

\- It would be great if the song have some distinctive elements about the country (optional)

Note: Even tough I wrote metal there I don’t like too aggressive genres like Black or Death metal.

[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIesHAzxFqo&ab_channel=VillagersofIoanninaCity) song is actually selected for Greece but as a Turk I really like the folk music of our region so I wondered whether I could find something even better.

Thank you.

  1. What you are asking, the fussion of folk with rock/metal music is not so common. The band you posted villagers of Ioannina city are unique in their sound. The only other record i can remember is the co-production of Θανάσης Παπακωνσταντίνου(folk) and Γιάννης Αγγελάκας (rock) in the βραχνός προφήτης (name of the record) https://youtu.be/FgeY5pba-aQ not metal in any case more of a rock/folk.

  2. Hi again 🙂

    I don’t remember what I suggested you last time, so here are some more recent discoveries:

    Take these as artist suggestions, you might like other tracks of them more.

    Oh and this album, no way I can pick a single song:
