Kalamatianó ((ギリシア語:καλαματιανό)) is a type of Greek folk music associated with a dance sharing its name. Originating in the southern Greek port city of Kalamata, its most recognizable feature is its asymmetrical time signature of 7/8 time, meaning that there are seven beats per measure, generally subdivided into two groups of 3 and 4 beats respectively. Although this rhythmic structure is unfamiliar to westerners, it is thoroughly at home in Greece, Cyprus and the surrounding countries. The kalamatiano is a traditional line dance admitting of varying speeds. Probably the best known folk song in this genre is ''Mandili Kalamatiano'' (Μαντήλι Καλαματιανό). An especially haunting example of the kalamatiano, ''Mekapses Yitonisa'' (Μ'έκαψες γειτόνισσα), was recorded for the National Geographic Society's groundbreaking ''Music of Greece'' album, released in 1968. ==See also== *Greek music *Kalamatianos (dance) *Greek dances *Greek folk music *Nisiotika *Sousta *Ikariotikos 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kalamatianó」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
