post-traditionalist music from Greece named after places in Cyprus

yes, surprising coincidence though it might be, there are at least three tracks from bands from Greece that 1) are inspired by traditional music (paradosiaka, whatever that means)* or include traditional musicians in their lineup, and that 2) have tracks that are named after places in Cyprus.

[1) and 2) combined may be considered good reason for their being appropriate for inclusion in a post in this blog.]

There's 'Morfou' by Harris Lambrakis Quartet:



'Pentadaktylos Dub' by Pallyria, and also 'Λευκωσία' in Achilleas Persides' Νοτιος Ήχος (which, however, isn't online).
