Greek music has a very long and impressive history just like the Greek culture. Known for being very diverse, music of Greece can be separated into two main categories: Byzantine music and traditional Greek music. While the former has a more oriental, eastern sound, the latter derives a great majority of its musical inspiration from the Ancient era.In addition to traditional and rather dated forms, there are also more contemporary genres that encompass Greek folk music: Rebetiko, Entehno, Nisiotika and Skiladiko.Most traditional Greek songs employ laouto, tamboura, pandura, kithara and violin.
