"the "real Greek" stuff. Apparently that
music was popular in Israel."

I do know that Israeli folk dancing went through a Greek Phase for some 
reason.  One of the dances popular was Hakinor Hanimaan, which is very 
Greek/Israeli feeling (sort of a Tcherkessia hassapikos blend, with some 
Romanian boot slapping thrown in and also a touch of Yemenite).  I have also 
found out that in Israel they dance miserlou to a song called Zingeralah 
nowadays.
