Music is an integral part of weddings in many societies. The folk music of the Greek-speaking population of Cyprus shares some characteristics with other regional Greek music. Ornamental patterns are transmitted by oral tradition and are added at the discretion of the player. This example of a Cypriot wedding dance features violin and guitar.
