There is something familiar but also mysterious about this kind of greek music. As if there is longing for nostalgia. Sometimes when I listen to this music I imagine a world where the mediterran live in peace. No matter what your religion is. By night everyone comes together and starts to sing and dance... Greek music is maybe one of the most heartfelt music ever. As a Turkish woman I appreciate your music and culture. This is just beyond touching for my peace longing soul.

This song was written by a Greek man, a former court musician to the Ottoman Sultan, based on a traditional melody. My grandfather shared a cheap room with him in America in 1913, when they worked together at a factory in Watertown, Massachusetts. And that’s the story, as far as I know it.
Je me souviens de quelques vieilles tavernes à Athènes il a 40 ans....de nuits enfiévrées jusqu’à l’aurore, avec mon amoureux....de musiciens de Rebetiko, inoubliables qui jouaient des vieux morceaux des années 20/30 de Smyrne.....nous étions les seuls étrangers, amenés par une amie peintre Grecque.....on jetait les verres après les avoir bu.....les plus belles nuits de ma jeunesse !!!! Inoubliable!!! On dansait avec de vieux grecs extraordinaires....Nuits magiques....La Grèce à jamais dans mon âme, dans mon cœur !!!
Ethnic music, regardless of whether it has its sources in Scandinavia, the Carpathians, the wide steppes, the Balkan mountains or sun-baked Anatolia - if it is made with heart, it always gives me goosebumps.
I am now in my early 70's, but I can hear my Grandfather now as he hummed this tune when I was a child, fingers in his ears so to not let any other sound spoil his memories of a time long passed. He claimed it was sung to him by his Grandmother. I am proud to be part of that chain, and to have been told by him of the times and history that made Rempetika what it is, and that it lives on in my heart, my soul and in my head, sometimes flowing to the rest of my body to give feeling and movement in personal homage to to my ancestors, and all those who share what is in the blood and is unteachable to anyone else.
I am 70. My father was born in Prussa, my mother in Smyrna. I was brought up with stories and music from "patritha" (homeland). I feel as if I was born in Asia Minor too. I feel the same when I hear the Turkish language
Ηλιάκης Μαμαλίας it’s more than brotherhood they used to be one country once then Egypt had its own Greek empire Ptolemaic Egypt that’s why there is a city called Alexandria in Egypt and at early to mid 20th century there was a lot of Greek immigrants in Egypt till now there is a significant number of Egyptians from Greek descendants in Egypt Greetings from Cairo Egypt Greek brother 😂
As a descendent of Greek immigrants who were technically fugitives in the eyes of the Turks(whom both my maternal grandparents despised) i can say that those Greeks and Turks shared a very powerful street music that had no well defined origin. Kinda like American rhythm and blues/rock'n'roll. It simply rose above the imaginary lines in sand.
i fully agree, even the manes of our well known folk instruments, bouzouki, baglamas come from turkish (because they were used by refugees from Anatolia)

Lyrics in English: ------------------------- My Misirlou (Egyptian girl), your sweet glance Has lit a flame in my heart. Ah, ya habibi, Ah, ya leh-leli, ah (Arabic: Oh, my love, Oh, my night)[2] Your two lips are dripping honey, ah. Ah, Misirlou, magical, exotic beauty. Madness will overcome me, I can't endure [this] any more. Ah, I'll steal you away from the Arab land. My black-eyed, my wild Misirlou, My life changes with one kiss Ah, ya habibi, one little kiss, ah From your sweet little lips, ah.
Acyutananda das hello.the original song was performed from tetos dimitriadis in 1927 and it had lyrics.Probably people are confussed from the pulp fiction remix which btw is also good.All we see is that this song is nearly 100 years old and yet people all over the world recognise the tune.That instantly makes it one of the most successful ever.
The fabulous Misirlou was first recorded in 1927 in New York, by Tetos Demetriades, a Greek immigrant from Constantinople (now Istanbul). In 1941, Nikos Roubanis, a Greek-American music instructor, released a jazz instrumental arrangement of the song. By 1962, American Dick Dale picked up his golden Fender Stratocaster guitar and 'tore into' Misirlou into a surf anthem instrumental. More than three decades later, director Quentin Tarantino used Misirlou over the opening credits of Pulp Fiction and it became a force of nature 🔥 By the way, Misirlou is Turkish/Arabic, meaning an Egyptian woman, and the song is about a man who is besotted with a beautiful Egyptian woman. Ps, I'm 62 years old and an Australian born Greek, and I clearly remember (as a young girl of 10), my uncle the bouzouki player, playing this in his youth with a Greek band. It was awesome.! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Misirlou is not a Turkish name. Misr means Egypt and Misirlou means Egyptian girl/lady in Greek. There are Greeks in Egypt much much earlier than even the name Turk was created. Misr is also earlier than Turk.

Uzay Bulut is a Turkish journalist, and political analyst formerly based in Ankara. "Turkey wipes out traces of Greek civilisation in Smyrna." On June 21 2019, Turkish media reported that the Saint-Jean Theologos Greek Girls School in Smyrna, now known as Izmir, which has been empty since the extermination of the city’s Greek Christians in 1922, was plundered, its doors and windows removed and its valuables looted. The historic building, now owned by Turkish Undersecretariat of the Treasury, has mostly been used by homeless drug addicts. Today, the school no longer has Greek students or teachers. For 97 years ago, the 3,000-year Greek presence was erased from the city through what is known as the 1922 Great Fire of Smyrna. The Greek culture, however, was not a foreign way of life in Asia Minor. The region was predominantly Greek before Turkic people began to invade it in the 11th century. According to the International Dictionary of Historic Places: Southern Europe, ancient Greeks were the ones “who raised Smyrna to heights of power and glory in the seventh century B.C. Smyrna passed into the hands of the Christianized, Greek-speaking Byzantine realm following the formal division of the Roman Empire.” Smyrna was ruled by Christians for centuries. The Eastern Roman (or Byzantine) Empire fought fierce defence wars against Arabic, Seljuk, and Ottoman Islamic armies. Riding from the steppes of Central Asia, the Turks targeted Asia Minor by combining their long-held “tradition of invasion” with newfound Islamic zeal. The Islamic invasion of Asia Minor was completed by the Ottomans through the fall and looting of Constantinople (Istanbul) in the 15th century. “Imagine a life where it’s a crime to celebrate or reveal your ethnic heritage; where the law requires you to abandon your ways and culture and meld invisibly into one indistinguishable mass with the majority or suffer the consequences. And woe to anyone caught reading, speaking, dressing as, or playing music of another culture.” Like Armenians, Greeks also fell victim to the same Ottoman campaign of systematic extermination of Christians before, during and after World War I (1914-1923). According to the Greek Genocide Resource Center, atrocities against Greek people during that period “included massacres, forced deportations and death marches, summary expulsions, boycotts, rape, forced conversion to Islam, conscription into labor battalions, arbitrary executions, and destruction of Christian Orthodox cultural, historical and religious monuments.” “From ancient times, and through the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman ages, the city remained essentially Greek,” according to Marketos. “The later centuries saw the advent of Armenian, Turkish, Jewish, European and American influences, but through it all, the predominant spirit remained Greek.” “The great fire of Smyrna was the peak of the Asia Minor catastrophe, bringing an end to the 3,000-year Greek presence on Anatolia’s Aegean shore and shifting the population ratio between Muslims and non-Muslims.”
ecxuse me for thiw comment but i'd like to make a comfort... The song has written for a girl from Egypt named "Misr" but in greek language it can't be pronounced so they made a little change!!! Peace from Larissa-Greece!!!
Rebetiko, une musique presque mystique. Une danse brute et aussi très sensuelle ! Les acteurs rebetiko sont inspirés. On est là tout près de Dieu ! Wonderful
This is the Song MISIRLOU, that means Woman from Egypt in Arab language. The Song Came in Greece after the War 1922 and first recorted in USA in 1930. Τραγούδι που ξεκίνησε από την Ελλάδα ως ρεμπέτικο κι έγινε παγκόσμια επιτυχία, γνωρίζοντας διασκευές σε διαφορετικά μουσικά στυλ (τζαζ, οριεντάλ, κλέζμερ, σερφ-ροκ, γκαράζ-ροκ κ.ά.). Μισιρλού σημαίνει γυναίκα από το Μισίρι (Μισρ=MISR= Αίγυπτος στα αραβικά) και αναφέρεται σε μουσουλμάνα της Αιγύπτου, καθότι τη χριστιανή της περιοχής την ονομάζουμε Αιγυπτιώτισσα. Η Μισιρλού είναι ένα αργό ζεϊμπέκικο, που πρωτακούστηκε στην Αθήνα γύρω στο 1927 από την κομπανία του Δημήτρη Πατρινού, ενός σμυρνιού μουσικού, που ήρθε στην πρωτεύουσα με το κύμα των προσφύγων της Μικρασιατικής Καταστροφής. Το τραγούδι αναφέρεται στον έρωτα ενός χριστιανού για μια μουσουλμάνα, θέμα - ταμπού για εκείνη την εποχή και όχι μόνο. Η μελωδία είτε προϋπήρχε και ήταν οικείο άκουσμα στον ευρύτερο χώρο της Οθωμανικής Αυτοκρατορίας, είτε αποτελεί ομαδική δουλειά της κομπανίας του Πατρινού. Το μόνο σίγουρο είναι ότι ο Πατρινός έγραψε τους στίχους. Η διεθνής πορεία του τραγουδιού ξεκίνησε το 1930 από τις ΗΠΑ, με την κυκλοφορία του από τη δισκογραφική εταιρεία Orthophonic του ελληνοαμερικανού Τίτου Δημητριάδη. Το 1941 ένας άλλος ελληνοαμερικανός, ο μουσικός Νίκος Ρουμπάνης του άλλαξε τον τόνο και τη μελωδία, δίνοντάς του τον ανατολίτικο ήχο με τον οποίο είναι γνωστό σήμερα. Φρόντισε, μάλιστα, να κατοχυρώσει το όνομά του ως συνθέτης του τραγουδιού. Καθώς κανείς δεν του αμφισβήτησε το δικαίωμα αυτό, ο Ρουμπάνης εμφανίζεται ως συνθέτης της Μισιρλούς σε όλο τον κόσμο εκτός από την Ελλάδα. Αμέσως μετά τη διασκευή του Ρουμπάνη, το τραγούδι εντάχθηκε στο ρεπερτόριο μεγάλων ορχηστρών της εποχής του σουίνγκ, όπως του Χάρι Τζέιμς, του Γούντι Χέρμαν και του Ξαβιέ Κούγκατ. Όμως, η μεγάλη επιτυχία για τη Μισιρλού ήλθε στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του '60 από καλλιτέχνες του Surf-Rock. Την αρχή έκανε ο κιθαρίστας Ντικ Ντέιλ, ένας μουσικός με λιβανέζικες ρίζες (Ρίτσαρντ Μανσούρ το πραγματικό του όνομα), όταν ένας θαμώνας στο κλαμπ που εμφανιζόταν τον προκάλεσε να παίξει ένα σόλο με μία μόνο χορδή της κιθάρας. Αυτός διάλεξε τη Μισιρλού για να ανταποκριθεί στην πρόκληση. Το 1963, οι σπουδαίοι The Beach Boys παρουσίασαν στο άλμπουμ τους Surfin' USA μια εκτέλεση του τραγουδιού παρόμοια με αυτή του Ντέιλ, κάνοντας έτσι τη Μισιρλού τμήμα της surf παράδοσης, αλλά και της αμερικάνικης ποπ κουλτούρας. Το 1994 η Μισιρλού στην εκτέλεση του Ντικ Ντέιλ ήλθε και πάλι στο προσκήνιο, καθώς ακουγόταν στην καλτ ταινία του Κουέντιν Ταραντίνο Pulp Fiction, ενώ το 2006 ξανάγινε δημοφιλής, όταν αποτέλεσε τη βάση για το τραγούδι των Black Eyed Peas, Pump it. Αξιοσημείωτη είναι και η εκδοχή του γνωστού κουαρτέτου εγχόρδων The Kronos Quartet, που συμπεριέλαβε τη Μισιρλού στο άλμπουμ τους Caravan (2000) με τον τίτλο Misirlou Twist. Στην Ελλάδα, τη Μισιρλού έχουν τραγουδήσει αρκετοί καλλιτέχνες, όπως η Δανάη, η Σοφία Βέμπο, ο Νίκος Γούναρης, ο Μανώλης Αγγελόπουλος, το ροκ συγκρότημα των Last Drive (άλμπουμ Underworld Shakedown του 1986) και η γκαράζ μπάντα των Sound Explosion (Misirlou the Greek). Το 2004, η Μισιρλού επιλέχτηκε από την οργανωτική επιτροπή των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων της Αθήνας ως ένα από τα πιο γνωστά ελληνικά τραγούδια όλων των εποχών, και ακούστηκε στην τελετή λήξης από την Άννα Βίσση. Στο τεύχος Μαρτίου 2005 το αγγλικό μουσικό περιοδικό Q δημοσίευσε έναν κατάλογο με τα 100 κορυφαία 100 κιθαριστικά τραγούδια. Η Μισιρλού στη διασκευή του Ντικ Ντέιλ κατέλαβε την 89η θέση.
It is an Oriental Song from Minor Asia, became famous in ALL the World by Greeks. The song describes the Great love of a man to an Egyptian wonderful Belly Dancer, the MYSIRLOU. The song in Rock release inclunted as soundrack in the Film of Quentin Tarantino PULP FICTION, and the Greek Pop Singer Anna Vissi performed that in the End of Olympic Games of Athens 2004. That is.

I've never heard it done so slowly. Beautiful - very evocative. Greeks, Turks, Arabs and Egyptians all claim this very, very old song. When you read the lyrics below from B Healthy, you'll see why.
inanılmaz güzel ve sanki neerdeyse anlayacağım şarkıyı.. sözlerini bilmesemde tüm duygusunu tüm yoğunluğuyla hissedebiliyorum.. sanrım bu da aynı coğrafyanın içinde olmaktan, benzer mutlulukları, benzer üzüntüleri yaşamaktan geliyor... teşekkürler rebetiko
Rebetiko type of music is greek music heavily influenced by greek anatolians, no wonder you feel that way. Also it supposed to create a feeling of nostalgia. It’s history is very interesting and shows how political/historical events change music and culture in general
Greece"s soul , including dance, culture, food , music is in the East. Greek Thought ,including Logic , history, medicine, arts, mathematics etc is in the West .Hence the double headed eagle of constantinople, looks both to the east and the west...
very good observation. From an old Greek lady whose mother danced to this in Vaudeville starting in 1926 with her Greek father. she was six years old and there was a book written about her recently by Eleni Sikelianos
Omg I'm shoked 😂❤️ I didn't imagine that there is a greek song for an Egyptian woman ❤️ I don't understand but i could feel his sadness ❤️ By the way Egyptian girl in Arabic called misreya and Egyp called Misr It is not Turkish or persian name for Egyptian or somekind ❤️ BIG GREAT FROM EGYPT THE LAND OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ❤️🌹
comes from the Turkish word Mısırlı, which is formed by combining Mısır ("Egypt" in Turkish, borrowed from Arabic مِصر Miṣr) with the Turkish -lı suffix, literally meaning "Egyptian". it is not possible to pass directly from arabic to greek cause the two countries have nothing in common other than being ruled by the Turks
@@yusufemreyldrm346 arap had a trade with greek and italian before turky was born, baby Especially EGYPT And every civilized human knows that truth ❤️ And arap wasn't ruled by turkish arap was ruled by the islamic khelafa. Without it we didn't made turkey rule us.. And it was a very bad period of time when the sultan steals the bounties of egypt and araps 🙂
@@adnansy2594 It's really interesting to think that a song that came out in the 1900s came out not under the Ottoman Empire, but thanks to the trade network that ended a thousand years ago, even when carrying Turkish suffix.. If I was stupid enough to link our topic to civilization, I might even call you uncivilized. I think it is an inferiority complex to say that it is ruled by the Caliph, not by the Turks. If I had been defeated in battle and ruled over another country for centuries, I would have sought excuses, too. It must be difficult to fight and fall under another Turkish state when it is ruled by the Turks. I understand your pain.
I am pretty sure misirlou is an Arabic word.. probably it also exist as a loan word from Arabic in Turkish. In this context mousourlou (misirli) Means the girl From Arabia and Egypt. It's even mentioned in the song
Μισιρλού μου, η γλυκιά σου η ματιά φλόγα μου ‘χει ανάψει μες στην καρδιά, αχ γιαχαμπίμπι, αχ γιαλελέλι, αχ τα δυο σου χείλι στάζουνε μέλι, οϊμέ. Αχ, Μισιρλού, μαγική ξωτική ομορφιά, τρέλα θα μου ‘ρθει, δεν υποφέρω πια, αχ, θα σε κλέψω μέσ’ απ’ την Αραπιά. Μαυρομάτα Μισιρλού μου τρελή η ζωή μου αλλάζει μ’ ένα φιλί, αχ γιαχαμπίμπι, μ’ ένα φιλάκι, αχ απ’ το δικό σου το στοματάκι, οϊμ Αχ, Μισιρλού, μαγική ξωτική ομορφιά, τρέλα θα μου ‘ρθει, δεν υποφέρω πια, αχ, θα σε κλέψω μέσ’ απ’ την Αραπιά.

I am now in my early 70's, but I can hear my Grandfather now as he hummed this tune when I was a child, fingers in his ears so to not let any other sound spoil his memories of a time long passed. He claimed it was sung to him by his Grandmother. I am proud to be part of that chain, and to have been told by him of the times and history that made Rempetika what it is, and that it lives on in my heart, my soul and in my head, sometimes flowing to the rest of my body to give feeling and movement in personal homage to to my ancestors, and all those who share what is in the blood and is unteachable to anyone else.

As a descendent of Greek immigrants who were technically fugitives in the eyes of the Turks(whom both my maternal grandparents despised) i can say that those Greeks and Turks shared a very powerful street music that had no well defined origin. Kinda like American rhythm and blues/rock'n'roll. It simply rose above the imaginary lines in sand.
i fully agree, even the manes of our well known folk instruments, bouzouki, baglamas come from turkish (because they were used by refugees from Anatolia)

My Misirlou (Egyptian girl), your sweet glance
Has lit a flame in my heart.
Ah, ya habibi, Ah, ya leh-leli, ah (Arabic: Oh, my love, Oh, my night)[2]
Your two lips are dripping honey,
ah. Ah, Misirlou, magical, exotic beauty.
Madness will overcome me, I can't endure [this] any more.
Ah, I'll steal you away from the Arab land.
My black-eyed, my wild Misirlou,
My life changes with one kiss
Ah, ya habibi, one little kiss, ah
From your sweet little lips, ah.

I'm 70 and have been dancing to this since I was 10 Til now I never knew Miserlu had lyrics Thank u
Acyutananda das hello.the original song was performed from tetos dimitriadis in 1927 and it had lyrics.Probably people are confussed from the pulp fiction remix which btw is also good.All we see is that this song is nearly 100 years old and yet people all over the world recognise the tune.That instantly makes it one of the most successful ever.
The fabulous Misirlou was first recorded in 1927 in New York, by Tetos Demetriades, a Greek immigrant from Constantinople (now Istanbul). In 1941, Nikos Roubanis, a Greek-American music instructor, released a jazz instrumental arrangement of the song. By 1962, American Dick Dale picked up his golden Fender Stratocaster guitar and 'tore into' Misirlou into a surf anthem instrumental. More than three decades later, director Quentin Tarantino used Misirlou over the opening credits of Pulp Fiction and it became a force of nature 🔥 By the way, Misirlou is Turkish/Arabic, meaning an Egyptian woman, and the song is about a man who is besotted with a beautiful Egyptian woman. Ps, I'm 62 years old and an Australian born Greek, and I clearly remember (as a young girl of 10), my uncle the bouzouki player, playing this in his youth with a Greek band. It was awesome.! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Misirlou is not a Turkish name. Misr means Egypt and Misirlou means Egyptian girl/lady in Greek. There are Greeks in Egypt much much earlier than even the name Turk was created. Misr is also earlier than Turk.
The Greeks always had the sound and the moves that stood the test of time - bravo!!!!

@Zig Zag ok boomer you always right, you most be right ok.
Uzay Bulut is a Turkish journalist, and political analyst formerly based in Ankara.
"Turkey wipes out traces of Greek civilisation in Smyrna."
On June 21 2019, Turkish media reported that the Saint-Jean Theologos Greek Girls School in Smyrna, now known as Izmir, which has been empty since the extermination of the city’s Greek Christians in 1922, was plundered, its doors and windows removed and its valuables looted. The historic building, now owned by Turkish Undersecretariat of the Treasury, has mostly been used by homeless drug addicts. Today, the school no longer has Greek students or teachers. For 97 years ago, the 3,000-year Greek presence was erased from the city through what is known as the 1922 Great Fire of Smyrna. The Greek culture, however, was not a foreign way of life in Asia Minor. The region was predominantly Greek before Turkic people began to invade it in the 11th century. According to the International Dictionary of Historic Places: Southern Europe, ancient Greeks were the ones “who raised Smyrna to heights of power and glory in the seventh century B.C. Smyrna passed into the hands of the Christianized, Greek-speaking Byzantine realm following the formal division of the Roman Empire.”
Smyrna was ruled by Christians for centuries. The Eastern Roman (or Byzantine) Empire fought fierce defence wars against Arabic, Seljuk, and Ottoman Islamic armies. Riding from the steppes of Central Asia, the Turks targeted Asia Minor by combining their long-held “tradition of invasion” with newfound Islamic zeal. The Islamic invasion of Asia Minor was completed by the Ottomans through the fall and looting of Constantinople (Istanbul) in the 15th century.
“Imagine a life where it’s a crime to celebrate or reveal your ethnic heritage; where the law requires you to abandon your ways and culture and meld invisibly into one indistinguishable mass with the majority or suffer the consequences. And woe to anyone caught reading, speaking, dressing as, or playing music of another culture.” Like Armenians, Greeks also fell victim to the same Ottoman campaign of systematic extermination of Christians before, during and after World War I (1914-1923). According to the Greek Genocide Resource Center, atrocities against Greek people during that period “included massacres, forced deportations and death marches, summary expulsions, boycotts, rape, forced conversion to Islam, conscription into labor battalions, arbitrary executions, and destruction of Christian Orthodox cultural, historical and religious monuments.” “From ancient times, and through the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman ages, the city remained essentially Greek,” according to Marketos. “The later centuries saw the advent of Armenian, Turkish, Jewish, European and American influences, but through it all, the predominant spirit remained Greek.” “The great fire of Smyrna was the peak of the Asia Minor catastrophe, bringing an end to the 3,000-year Greek presence on Anatolia’s Aegean shore and shifting the population ratio between Muslims and non-Muslims.”
Maybe you are of Greek ancestry, and your ancestors turkified? four centuries of Ottoman rule was a long period.
@@tipesreee I don't think so because in our country you can look at which country you come from from a site
I also had a DNA test two years ago, and it's 66% central Asia.
This song is an old Rebetiko from Tetos Dimitriadis (1927). Misirlu means "The Girl From Egypt".
Thank you for passing on this information.
ecxuse me for thiw comment but i'd like to make a comfort...
The song has written for a girl from Egypt named "Misr" but in greek language it can't be pronounced so they made a little change!!!
Peace from Larissa-Greece!!!
👍💓
It doesn't 'mean' that, but that's what it means, if that makes sense. It isn't a translation of 'girl from Egypt'.
The Egyptians call their country Misr. Thus misirlou describes a joung Egyptian girl!! (Εγυπτιοπούλα)
This is music from the heart.🎶❤️🌺🇬🇧🤓
Rebetiko, une musique presque mystique. Une danse brute et aussi très sensuelle ! Les acteurs rebetiko sont inspirés.
On est là tout près de Dieu !

Amazing performance!!! Old, original and probably the best!
This is the Song MISIRLOU, that means Woman from Egypt in Arab language. The Song Came in Greece after the War 1922 and first recorted in USA in 1930. Τραγούδι που ξεκίνησε από την Ελλάδα ως ρεμπέτικο κι έγινε παγκόσμια επιτυχία, γνωρίζοντας διασκευές σε διαφορετικά μουσικά στυλ (τζαζ, οριεντάλ, κλέζμερ, σερφ-ροκ, γκαράζ-ροκ κ.ά.). Μισιρλού σημαίνει γυναίκα από το Μισίρι (Μισρ=MISR= Αίγυπτος στα αραβικά) και αναφέρεται σε μουσουλμάνα της Αιγύπτου, καθότι τη χριστιανή της περιοχής την ονομάζουμε Αιγυπτιώτισσα. Η Μισιρλού είναι ένα αργό ζεϊμπέκικο, που πρωτακούστηκε στην Αθήνα γύρω στο 1927 από την κομπανία του Δημήτρη Πατρινού, ενός σμυρνιού μουσικού, που ήρθε στην πρωτεύουσα με το κύμα των προσφύγων της Μικρασιατικής Καταστροφής. Το τραγούδι αναφέρεται στον έρωτα ενός χριστιανού για μια μουσουλμάνα, θέμα - ταμπού για εκείνη την εποχή και όχι μόνο. Η μελωδία είτε προϋπήρχε και ήταν οικείο άκουσμα στον ευρύτερο χώρο της Οθωμανικής Αυτοκρατορίας, είτε αποτελεί ομαδική δουλειά της κομπανίας του Πατρινού. Το μόνο σίγουρο είναι ότι ο Πατρινός έγραψε τους στίχους.
Η διεθνής πορεία του τραγουδιού ξεκίνησε το 1930 από τις ΗΠΑ, με την κυκλοφορία του από τη δισκογραφική εταιρεία Orthophonic του ελληνοαμερικανού Τίτου Δημητριάδη. Το 1941 ένας άλλος ελληνοαμερικανός, ο μουσικός Νίκος Ρουμπάνης του άλλαξε τον τόνο και τη μελωδία, δίνοντάς του τον ανατολίτικο ήχο με τον οποίο είναι γνωστό σήμερα. Φρόντισε, μάλιστα, να κατοχυρώσει το όνομά του ως συνθέτης του τραγουδιού. Καθώς κανείς δεν του αμφισβήτησε το δικαίωμα αυτό, ο Ρουμπάνης εμφανίζεται ως συνθέτης της Μισιρλούς σε όλο τον κόσμο εκτός από την Ελλάδα.
Αμέσως μετά τη διασκευή του Ρουμπάνη, το τραγούδι εντάχθηκε στο ρεπερτόριο μεγάλων ορχηστρών της εποχής του σουίνγκ, όπως του Χάρι Τζέιμς, του Γούντι Χέρμαν και του Ξαβιέ Κούγκατ. Όμως, η μεγάλη επιτυχία για τη Μισιρλού ήλθε στις αρχές της δεκαετίας του '60 από καλλιτέχνες του Surf-Rock. Την αρχή έκανε ο κιθαρίστας Ντικ Ντέιλ, ένας μουσικός με λιβανέζικες ρίζες (Ρίτσαρντ Μανσούρ το πραγματικό του όνομα), όταν ένας θαμώνας στο κλαμπ που εμφανιζόταν τον προκάλεσε να παίξει ένα σόλο με μία μόνο χορδή της κιθάρας. Αυτός διάλεξε τη Μισιρλού για να ανταποκριθεί στην πρόκληση. Το 1963, οι σπουδαίοι The Beach Boys παρουσίασαν στο άλμπουμ τους Surfin' USA μια εκτέλεση του τραγουδιού παρόμοια με αυτή του Ντέιλ, κάνοντας έτσι τη Μισιρλού τμήμα της surf παράδοσης, αλλά και της αμερικάνικης ποπ κουλτούρας.
Το 1994 η Μισιρλού στην εκτέλεση του Ντικ Ντέιλ ήλθε και πάλι στο προσκήνιο, καθώς ακουγόταν στην καλτ ταινία του Κουέντιν Ταραντίνο Pulp Fiction, ενώ το 2006 ξανάγινε δημοφιλής, όταν αποτέλεσε τη βάση για το τραγούδι των Black Eyed Peas, Pump it. Αξιοσημείωτη είναι και η εκδοχή του γνωστού κουαρτέτου εγχόρδων The Kronos Quartet, που συμπεριέλαβε τη Μισιρλού στο άλμπουμ τους Caravan (2000) με τον τίτλο Misirlou Twist.
Στην Ελλάδα, τη Μισιρλού έχουν τραγουδήσει αρκετοί καλλιτέχνες, όπως η Δανάη, η Σοφία Βέμπο, ο Νίκος Γούναρης, ο Μανώλης Αγγελόπουλος, το ροκ συγκρότημα των Last Drive (άλμπουμ Underworld Shakedown του 1986) και η γκαράζ μπάντα των Sound Explosion (Misirlou the Greek).
Το 2004, η Μισιρλού επιλέχτηκε από την οργανωτική επιτροπή των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων της Αθήνας ως ένα από τα πιο γνωστά ελληνικά τραγούδια όλων των εποχών, και ακούστηκε στην τελετή λήξης από την Άννα Βίσση. Στο τεύχος Μαρτίου 2005 το αγγλικό μουσικό περιοδικό Q δημοσίευσε έναν κατάλογο με τα 100 κορυφαία 100 κιθαριστικά τραγούδια. Η Μισιρλού στη διασκευή του Ντικ Ντέιλ κατέλαβε την 89η θέση.
What is it about?
It is an Oriental Song from Minor Asia, became famous in ALL the World by Greeks. The song describes the Great love of a man to an Egyptian wonderful Belly Dancer, the MYSIRLOU. The song in Rock release inclunted as soundrack in the Film of Quentin Tarantino PULP FICTION, and the Greek Pop Singer Anna Vissi performed that in the End of Olympic Games of Athens 2004. That is. Dr. Harry Gouvas, Director of the Museum of Arts and Sciences of Epirus Greece.
Actually Misirlu means Egyptian in Turkish (Mısırlı). in Arabic it would be Misriyyah

HELWA KETIR EGYPT WOMEN, GIA SOU FROM THE GREECE !
comes from the Turkish word Mısırlı, which is formed by combining Mısır ("Egypt" in Turkish, borrowed from Arabic مِصر Miṣr) with the Turkish -lı suffix, literally meaning "Egyptian". it is not possible to pass directly from arabic to greek cause
the two countries have nothing in common other than being ruled by the Turks
@@yusufemreyldrm346 that was a very uneducated response. THINK
@@yusufemreyldrm346 arap had a trade with greek and italian before turky was born, baby

And arap wasn't ruled by turkish arap was ruled by the islamic khelafa.
Without it we didn't made turkey rule us..
And it was a very bad period of time when the sultan steals the bounties of egypt and araps 🙂
@@adnansy2594 It's really interesting to think that a song that came out in the 1900s came out not under the Ottoman Empire, but thanks to the trade network that ended a thousand years ago, even when carrying Turkish suffix.. If I was stupid enough to link our topic to civilization, I might even call you uncivilized.
I think it is an inferiority complex to say that it is ruled by the Caliph, not by the Turks. If I had been defeated in battle and ruled over another country for centuries, I would have sought excuses, too. It must be difficult to fight and fall under another Turkish state when it is ruled by the Turks. I understand your pain.
Rembetiko is a music from west anotolia old greek peoples. Mısırlı is turkish word. Means ' eigyption'
thats interesting to know... well in Greek egyption means Egyptian,, now it makes scene xDD
Greek and Turkish culture is very similar , regards to Anatolia
its actually an arabic word. misr means egypt
I am pretty sure misirlou is an Arabic word.. probably it also exist as a loan word from Arabic in Turkish.
In this context mousourlou (misirli) Means the girl From Arabia and Egypt. It's even mentioned in the song
Excelente versión de un maravilloso tema!! Gracias!!

According to the Greek Genocide Resource Center, atrocities against Greek people during that period “included massacres, forced deportations and death marches, summary expulsions, boycotts, rape, forced conversion to Islam, conscription into labor battalions, arbitrary executions, and destruction of Christian Orthodox cultural, historical and religious monuments.” “From ancient times, and through the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman ages, the city remained essentially Greek,” according to Marketos. “The later centuries saw the advent of Armenian, Turkish, Jewish, European and American influences, but through it all, the predominant spirit remained Greek.” “The great fire of Smyrna was the peak of the Asia Minor catastrophe, bringing an end to the 3,000-year Greek presence on Anatolia’s Aegean shore and shifting the population ratio between Muslims and non-Muslims.”
absolute beauty!
Sounds like my kind of party, a sort of dignified lament, betrothed but blissful, an authenticity whereby one celebrates their sadness to make way for their happiness to prevail. bring on the uzo.

To you too mate.. Hope things will turn better and that madman will leave government to people with logic..
@@hattorihanzo9896 which madman ?
@@mfatihd88 erdogan?
@@hattorihanzo9896 How dare you talk about the leader of another country? You surprised me, you shouldn't do that. Please do not put politicians between the brotherhood of the Turkish and Greek people. At least you should respect me and not talk negatively about the president of my country. Okey ?
@@mfatihd88 yes
Habibi miserlou,it doesn’t matter what language you speak this song is for you
Miserlou was made famous in the 1960s and 70s in Greenwich Village at the Cafe Feenjon by Menachim Dworman the Israel owner who also played the Oud. the song was requested so much they at times tried to refuse to play it, but they had to since everybody sang it a cappela. another favorite song was Meilina Zorga.
listening this from California. I'm feeling this beat somehow lol
That's for you, and all the rest of you ignorant Yanks, who think that the song at PULP FICTION, was an American Rock K' Roll song of the '50s and the '60s! This Greek old time classic was the original song, out of which, your country mates, made theirs!
That's because it was resampled in Pulp Fiction by Dick Dale as Misirlou. And then later by The Black Eyed Peas.
the pulp fiction song has been based on this one actually
@@theonemesis5217 The man made a positive comment. You sound a LOT more ignorant trying to insult millions of yanks with your huge false Greek pride. From a Greek that lives with the yanks
If someone cannot feel this then they cannot be alive. Hello from the Greece! komatara enai afto to tragoudi !
