Greetings to my Greek/Pontic brothers, from Armenia.

This ıs the best video for serra dance and musicians ,love from Turkey

Guys, I love this version of the Serra. It is so dignified and somehow true. We may not live in Pontos, but Pontos lives in us, and in our children. God Bless.

bravo , hi from istanbul I'm a turskısh pround to be a Pontain I have never seen so beautiful horon yasu bre:) ela ela

bir karadenizli olarak çok beğendim kemence çalan adam gerçektne harika çalıyor.

there is a video greeks and turks drinking and eating in trabzon. playing kemence-lyra and dancing together. its a nice video for our brotherhood. i'm from turkey but recently i learned that my grandpa is from thessoloniki-selanik and it made me happy. though i'm turkish i have great respect for greek culture. greeks are the roots of european culture and philosophy. so if i'm half greek, i'm proud.

anastorw ta palaiaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!! noiwthw poli perifanos pou genithika pontios....Bravo re paidiaaaa

Fantastic. Just fantastic. Thanks for uploading it. It brought tears to my old eyes.

THIS IS THE GREEKEST DANCE EVER !!! It had been danced from all the greeks during the ancient times, it is reported by Platon and Aristofanis, it is called sera by the pontians becaused it first danced a long before the turkish arrival at pontus at a river next to Trapezounta called sera, it is called pyrrhic from the other greeks, it is danced only from Pontians because they are the only Greeks who kept it during their history, IT IS NEITHER TURKISH, NOR GEORGIAN, NOR ARMENIAN !!!! IT IS THE GREEKEST DANCE EVER EXCISTED !!!! But the turks had stolen it (as many other things from our history), i dont know why, they call it ''choron'' ''χορον'' wich is a greek word and means dance !!! They dont know what they say !!! Also they call it the dance of Trapezoynta !! Trapezoynta was GREEK until 1922 when was stolen from the Turks with leader Kemal Ataturk who killed with no reason 353.000 greek Pontians !!! PONTOS IS GREECE, PONTIANS ARE GREEKS, SERA PYRHIC IS GREEK !!!

The immigrant Turks who came to Anatolia were nomads who lived in tents and enjoyed a simple cuisine. In the words of one historian, their cuisine 'was a very simple affair consisting primarily of the produce of their flocks - meat, milk, yogurt, cheese supplemented by millet or other grains, fruit, honey, eggs and a type of unleavened wafer'. They undoubtedly absorbed more from the culture of the locals than they contributed.

Just WATCH and ENJOY it ! :D

on a third note, the true Pyrrhic dance which Albanians still carry, is called "valle Shpata" aka spartan dance aka sword dance. here is the the True ANCIENT PYRRHIC DANCE: Dance Battle - ancient europeans Sword Dance avi. Gangstarr- Battle

Emeğinize sağlık. Çok nefis kemenche çalmış. Thank s for you elbow grease.

So to learn those who are historical uncivilized yet...!this is pyrrhic dance one of the most ancient greek dances in the world!And it is a dance of war!mythology says that goddess Athena by the time she was born by her father's Zeus head was dancing the pyrrhic dance and this because she was born full of armors and ready for fight!!please learn HISTORY first and then make a comment...O pontos 8a zei xiliades xronia akoma!!!

@GeorgiaM83 thats why at the beginning you can hear "PAME"! think before you speak!

@Nickname997 - Your comments are true enough to some extent. However the original Turks were certainly 'Mongol' in appearance as are most Central Asian Turks today. Although one can still see an Asiatic element amongst them, the Anatolian Turks have had a HEAVY contribution from the - overwhelmingly Christian and largely, but not exclusively, Greek-speaking - population that was there before the Turks arrived.

çok güzel çalmış. acaba adamın adı nedir

Actually the 'real Greece' was originally mountainous Epirus and western Macedonia. ... and later Anatolia was very much a core 'Greek' (=Greek-speaking) land during the days of Byzantium - in fact the Empire's heartland just as it became later under the Ottomans. This was the case from about the 6th century AD until the Turks/Muslims got the upper hand demographically in the 1300s ...

επανατοποθέτηση των Πόντιων εκ ΕΣΣΔ στις χώρες από όπου ήρθαν και οικονομική τους στήριξη εκεί, ώστε αφενός να μη χάσουμε και τους πόντιους του Πόντου, αφετέρου να δημιουργηθούν οι προϋποθέσεις ανάπτυξης του πανποντιακού εμπορίου στην Μαύρη Θάλασσα

elagoezlue please keep on going to every greek - pontic video and tell them that in fact this is a turkish dance with a greek name! Yes "horon" is a greek word that means "dance". You didn't know eh? ;) An extra hint.. the first greek cities of efxinos pontos were founded the 8th century B.C. long before (1000 years) turks existed

Leventes! Poli orea Musiki!!!!! O Jimmy Hendrix ton Pontion pezy!!! Pame ........ ... ..... ... Listen also to Lemonopoulos, one of the best Bouzouki Players ever! Kai min xechnate ta rembetika mas! Ta kazias

ordeal61 değerli hemşehrim amacım kendi horonumu kötülemek değil bu horonu büyüklerimize gösterdim Ben maçkalıyım biz oraya ahıska ve konya karaman üzerinden yerleşmiş türkleriz.Elbette horonu trabzonlular oynar amacım pontusun bir kültür olduğunu anlatmaktı şu kıyafetler ve figürler sence yabancımı bu insanların ataları atalarımızla birlikte yaşamış komşuluk etmiş amacım bunu anlatmaktı

@61engin53 tourkosporos yes... actually it's pejorative (meiotic) characterisation like when you swear someone..or when someone has tanned skin and stays close to Turkey it's not something that is used for all Greeks.. Personally my grandparents coming from a place surrounded by mountains and they told me that the turks never went there so... ;) I'm sure you don't like when someone says bad things about Turkey so you shouldn't say bad things about Greece. It's a propaganda of the politicians..

omg ı love thıs song...trabzon-rıze kemence horon same pontıan kemence:D.D:D brother musıc same culture...uyyyyyyyyyy ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa TURKEY

Na zhsei h PATRIDA na zhsei o PONTOS

Horon, black sea dance. Laz Turk Armenian Pontus dance

Apolytws!! Tha eimai sto Movaxo ayto to SBK :-)

greek pontos kai xyno forever

don't claim these to be ancient greeks, these are also dressed like persian soldiers, all in black and all, Ancient Hellas/Illyrians/Etruscans aka Pelasgians warriors wore white as the dominant color whether they were pants or fustanella! Look at jean leon gerome's "pyrrhic dance" and "La Danse Pyrrhique". The fustanella warriors aka Albanians still carry this tradition. Pyrrhus aka "the eagle" called Illyrians "eagles people" aka Shqiptar(in Albanian means eagles people)!

eixane kai apo ex9es serra autoi sthnxwra tous? :p

@KosmosChannel what are you trying to speak my language, Arvanite language?

@trotskygr Can you explain how they are not the same, because those painting and others like Alexander Decamps "Albanian Dancers" are supporting my argument easy? And why are you bringing slavs in the discussion?

How 'Turk' are Anatolian Turks? What proportion are slant-eyed Mongol in appearance? At what school did you pick up your statistics? No doubt that there is much pre-Greek Anatolian 'blood' in the veins of the Pontians ... but without the overwhelming Greek element they wouldn't be who they are now.

@61engin53 My friend it has nothing to do with hearsay. The Turks you are pointing to are in the west. They have drawn hugely from the DNA of pre-existing European (et al) peoples. It is left to you to explain why the Turks in their original lands in Central Asia (from where Turks embarked to head westwards) are still 'Asian' in appearance (not that there is anything wrong with that). Talking of Turks as Mongols is to draw attention to their having invaded and raped lands not theirs ...

@Skylineownage sorry dude but i just watched a few videos on the Attan and its nothing like this dance

lelevo ta kakalas

kalo folklor alla oxi serra...

PS what proportion of the 'Turks' in the Karadeniz would you say have Greek-speaking Christian ancestors? 60% 70% (05 What?

@Nickname997 Yes there is a high proportion of 'native blood' in the 'veins' of the modern Turks - although in general the Turks don't wish to accept this. There is however, still a size-able Central Asian infusion and there is nothing native about this particular element; not its appearance; not its culture; not its language ...

Yes, the Pontian Greeks became a minority in their ancestral lands ... Good for the Turks! So what you're saying in a way is that because there are more Karadeniz Turks they have a greater connection to the culture they found there?!

@YllusMC @YllusMC i have seen the dance valle shpata and there is nothing to connect it to the ancient greek dance pyrrhic or pirixios it is not the only dance that we have that is ancient the slavic people are in this area not over 1000 years also find me one albanian word that can understant dear albanian friend read little more history

the phalanx stopt, then the phalanx difent her posision and in the end the phalanx atact, the step of the pyrixios dance my dear albanian friend (ALBA= WHITE) from the colour of mountains, the truth about the albanians its simple, in the northern albania live the turgogenic albanians and in south the greek albanians

@61engin53 the Greeks don't have any similar characteristics with you.. and don't forget that Alexander the Great when he conquered Persia used to make his soldiers marry with Persian women.. you know what this means my dear..unfortunately he made you a liitle superior by the time he put greek blood in your veins ;)) there are some turks that they are blond!! omg I didn't know that Turks could be blond! and guess what...they mostly live in Constantinopole (istanbul) those are janissaries!

@61engin53 I believe that the only thing that the Greeks have right now is ethnic and historical roots. we don't love christianity.. and we have nothing to do with the muslim world because we hate it.. actually Turkey sends illegal immigrants in Greece who go in Athens and they try to built a mosque and all Greeks got furious about that.We DON'T WANT MUSLIMS IN GREECE. Alexander was GREEK Macedonian..even his name is greek and it means 'someone who dissipates the men'..

Well. Dance name: Horon Horon word: Turkic origin Dance instruments: Tulum, Kemenche Tulum and Kemenche words: Turkic(Tulum=leather case in Khakas Turkic, Kemenche: Cuman Turkic leader name called "Kemenche Khan") And the Turkic Cumans: have come to Greece and they've invaded Pontic Greek empire, they've destroyed 50.000 of Pontic Greek soldiers in Artvin/Turkey. The most certain, the instruments and the dance have been brought to Eastern Blacksea by the Turkic Cumans. Most of today's people of Blacksea/Turkey: are descended from Turkic Cumans, I'm just one of them. These clothes are also belongs to Topal Osman's and İpsiz Recep's Turk militants who've destroyed so many of Pontic Greek gangsters and helped to Turkish army to expulsion of Greeks ;) You now felt in love with your destroyers :D.

Trabzon.....

Ancient Greek quote: half-knowing is far worse than not knowing at all. Oxymoron but true. (poor translation though!) So.....eat soups in your country and let the others take care of their stuff. And it's Makedonia ; at least learn this man.....

Only a DNA analysis can show the truth ! All these people before the first Selzucs aroound 1000 BC came were one the same race with christian religion which after the religion conversions has been divided into two populations with different religions but similar cultures, the dances stayed and are the same until today for both sides !!!

Do you no ANYTHING about Pontians? They lived long before the 400 years u are talking about. Read and learn brother

selanik isim çok güzel ama sen layık değilsin pontus bir kültürdür.soyum türk oğlu türktür.konya-karaman üzerinden göçtük trabzon a yüzyıllar önce.pontuslu bu insanlarda soyu yunana değil perslere dayanır.anadoludaki helen kadınları ile evlenerek oraya yerleştiler.

clearly a sllavic dance, take out the Pyrrhic name please, its offensive to us Albanians! Everyone needs to quit talking racist!
