Nisiotiko by Greek Bouzouki Duet Instrumental

Nisiotiko (Νησιώτικο) is a duet instrumental in the Balos rhythm, composed for Greek bouzouki and arranged in thirds. It explores G Major Natural and E Minor Melodic scales, with ornamentation including grace hammer-ons, staccatos, tremolos, and glissandos. The piece reflects the character of Nisiotika—music from the Greek islands—often joyful, occasionally bittersweet, and rooted in dance tradition.
