Zorba The Greek: The Best Instrumentals & Songs is a 2005 compilation of a form of Greek music known as Laïkó. The music is uncredited so it remains who performs what, meaning if it is a series of musicians or just one group entirely. Actual release date is also known, it may be from sometime in the 1990's, perhaps 2005 or even much older. This was released by Super Sound.

Ancient Greece was permeated by music, and the literature teems with musical allusions. Here at last is a clear, comprehensive, and authoritative account that presupposes no special knowledge of music. Topics covered include the place of music in Greek life, instruments, rhythm, tempo, modes and scales, melodic construction, form, ancient theory and notation, and historical development. Thirty surviving examples of Greek music are presented in modern transcription with analysis, and the book is fully illustrated. Besides being considered on its own terms, Greek music is here further illuminated by being considered in ethnological perspective, and a brief Epilogue sets it in its place in a border zone between Afro-Asiatic and European culture. The book will be of value both to classicists and historians of music.
