Album Notes & Community Reviews

Theodorakis's score for Michael Cacoyannis's film made 'Zorba's Dance', the sirtaki performed in the famous beach finale, a worldwide emblem of Greek music. The American soundtrack album, which intersperses dialogue from the film between the cues, features bouzouki played by Kostas Papadopoulos and Lakis Karnezis.
