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).
