Greek music traces its origins back to ancient ceremonies, lyres, and poetry, influencing Western music for centuries. Later, Byzantine chants shaped the nation’s sound, followed by Rebetiko, a soulful urban genre born in the 1900s. Today, Greece thrives with pop and dance music that blends Mediterranean emotion with modern flair.
