Live music and Greece have had a long history which dates all the way back to the first century AD. During that time, poetry, dancing, and music were inseparable, and they constituted an important part of a Greek citizen's everyday life. As Greek music flourished, Greek musicians produced a number of unique instruments and dances. The bouzouki, for example, is an instrument which is synonymous with Greek music and Greek bands. The Bouzouki is a long necked "folk guitar" which resembles a mandolin, and comes standard with a Greek wedding band. The typical Greek band will include the bouzouki, piano, drums, two or three vocalists, a violinist, a clarinetist, and a keyboard or synthesizer player. For a more intimate setting which requires Greek music, just a bouzouki and guitar can be utilized. Greek bands are widely popular at festivals, restaurants, Christenings, and of course, Greek weddings! A Greek wedding band will play all types of Greek wedding music, from traditional to new 'laika' (modern Greek music). Greek wedding bands are normally fronted by Greek singers (both male and female) who deliver powerful vocals to make the dance floor come alive! This will be sure to bring 'kefi' (the spirit of joy) to your wedding or special event! So hire a Greek band today!
