In 1927, an Istanbul-born Greek musician, Tetos Demetriades, having recently translocated to the US, recorded a piece of music he remembered from his youth. “Misirlou”, loosely translated as “Egyptian Girl”, was a swaying, erotic folk song performed in the rebetiko style that was popular among Greek Anatolians: “The sweet way you look at me lights flames in my heart . . . honey seeps from your lips.” The mesmerising and catchy melody, not credited with a composer, proved popular and the song was performed in a variety of styles in subsequent years. It also became something of what we would today call a “world music sensation”: versions were recorded in Arabic and Yiddish, and various communities of the eastern Mediterranean laid claim to the original melody. (from: 'The Life of a Song: ‘Misirlou’/my FT) - Hudba
Very beautiful! Really! Yemeni jewish culture is amazing and yemeni jews handsome too, women and men.
Bringing two worlds together... that's magic!
Beautiful voice beautiful langauge beautiful video. Greetings from Türkiye 🇹🇷 Peace to all✌️
Once again, great to hear Olga and her amazing artistry.
Beautiful. Its so important that this music is kept alive.
Thank Dick Dale (king of the Surf Guitar) for that
Dobra robota: melodia, czysty kobiecy głos, uśmiechnięte szczęśliwe twarze i spostrzegawcze oko kamery.
Que Hermoso... La alegría... Los niños también participan... Maravilloso los atuendos...
Una belleza realmente... 🌿🌻✔️🙏❤️
Very nice cover... Amazing voice
Misirlou / Μισιρλού is a very old song, a Eastern Mediterranean song.
Typical Greek Anatolian music (Byzantine) mixed with Arabic melodies.
This Greek songs 🎵 was born in Smyrna, melodic and nostalgic very appropriate for the Jewish diaspora!
توقعت اللحن يهودي عندما سمعتها باغنية مسريلو قلت هذا يوناني يهودي حاسة سادسة لاتخطى عندي ا
נהדר
כל הכבוד אולגה
Danke für Deine wunderbare Arbeit!
Thank you -- beautiful!
keeping the Yemeni culture is important. Ofra Haza was from the Yemen. beautiful song
I'm not sure but Ofra used some parts of the Yemeni folks music in her music. It is not prohibited when that brings something good.
True it should be pointed out so that the imagery is yemeni the music however isn't this is Yiddish they do not speak Yiddish in Yemen not even Jewish yemeni the song is about a desert princess who will never be forgotten this song is over 100 years old it is an amazing song of cultural significance it was also performed in many other languages over the years including a modern instrumental version used on the movie Pulp Fiction
@@andrewsoifert699 I think I should have said Yemeni Jewish culture. Thanks for your info. 😀
@@andrewsoifert699: The Yemenites I've known (who were all Jewish), spoke Hebrew as well as a dialect of Arabic that had a lot of Hebrew elements. If you see the lyrics of a song sung in the Yemenite dialect, they're hard to understand, even if you know Hebrew.
It's really good job that includes beautiful singing and amazing video of folk dances and wedding traditions of the Jews of Yemen.
I dance like the woman in the film . I wish there was peace in the Middle East . I can play the drum as they do also.
מהמם!!! wspaniały!!!
Beautiful music and video. You can feel all the oriental charming atmosphere. Thanks for sharing. All the best ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful..the video images are great
In Tarantino's Pulp Fiction too
Tradition !!
Yiddish lyrics were written by Miriam Kressen.
no, by Chaim Towber
Absoluely stunning, it's really like our Moroccan Fassi wedding dress. That's very heavy and you stay with it for quite sometime to show endurance as mariage is, So is the henne. It seems like im a gypsy in heart 😊
Great work, Olga! You're doing so much to keep the Yiddish culture alive. I hope it will live forever. A lot of people think this song is Greek, but ''Mιsιr'' (no dots over the ''ι'') is the TURKISH word for ''Egypt'' and ''Mιsιrlι', means ''something or someone from Egypt''.
Its Greek though.
@@TemujinMSM : HOW is it "Greek", when it has a Turkish title and is about someone from Egypt -- and this version is sung in Yiddish? I don't see much Greek there.....
@@stevecarson4162
The Greeks in Anatolia spoke Turkish as well.
@@stevecarson4162 Misirlou was the Greek word for Egyptian as well at that time. Spoken Greek used to have lots of Turkish words in it
@@stevecarson4162 it's a greek song about a greek orthodox man falling in love with a muslim egyptian woman so yes, it is a greek song. the melody is quite popular in minor asia but misirlou is a greek song. misir is turkish and arab word for egypt however -lou is a greek ending; therefore again, this song is greek.
przejmujące i cudne pozdrawiam
serdeczności!
Szczęśliwy dzień dla kobiety!!!
Beautiful!!! I love this❤️
Как красиво и необычно!
Это свадебные обряды и танцы йеменских евреев.
@@Fuad_Haciyev57 благодарю за информацию. Пересматривала несколько раз. В этих обрядах и танцах столько волшебства, что просто завораживает!
@@olgamakarova2587 когда-то я работал в Йемене, евреев уже не застал. От них оставались только кладбища и арабы, чьи бабушки или прабабушки были еврейками. По историческим причинам основная масса йеменцев совершенно не озабочена палестинской проблемой. Но они очень любят рассказывать, как йеменские евреи в Израиле чтут йеменские обычаи. Это и видно из этих кадров. Танцы и обычаи йеменских евреев очень мало отличаются от обычаев йеменских арабов, что, впрочем, не удивительно.
@@Fuad_Haciyev57 да, да, я тоже не сразу поняла, что это за культура! То, что вы рассказываете, для меня действительно ново. В университете в США у нас из Йемена были только арабы, я и предположить не могла, что в давние времена евреи тоже населяли эту страну.
@@olgamakarova2587по меркам истории евреи уехали из Йемена не так давно, после образования гос-ва Израиль. А жили они там давно. Йеменкой была небезызвестная царица Савская, которая родила мальчика от царя Соломона. Именно с тех времён иудаизм стал распространяться среди местного населения. До ислама (где-то в V в. н.э.) этой страной даже правили цари-иудеи. Да что Йемен, в Медине на момент начала Мухаммедом своей пророческой миссии жили евреи, как собственно евреи, так и арабы-иудеи. Они не признали Мухаммеда пророком и уехали в Сирию. Сейчас уже невозможно определить, кто из сирийских евреев - потомок мединских евреев, а кто - мединских иудеев-арабов.

Please, connect people on earth and their religion....there is ONE at last ( from zero to two)
What is being pressed into the hand at 3:41 ? Thanks
Henna. It's a middle eastern wedding custom, nowadays I think only Syrian and Yemenite Jews practice that. Other than them it's still done in India, Turkey and some places in the Balkan. It's supposed to ward off the evil eye and beautify the bride.
A love song. I wish a love song ruled the world.
Here is the first known performance,Music/Lyrics (as first credited) by Nikos (Nick) Roubanis.
The song performs :Tetos Dimitriades , recorded 1927 in New York.
