Ethymology
The Turkish bağlama instrument used in this style of music influenced the name çifte-telli which means "double stringed" in the Turkish language.
Distribution
The Çiftetelli appears in many variations in the folk music of Western and Central Turkey. The different compositions based on this popular rhythm each have their own name. In Turkey, çiftetelli has been relegated to wedding music, where Roma and Greeks have adopted the upbeat folk rhythms into oriental dancing. Often "tsifteteli" in Greece is inappropriately used synonymously with oriental dance. It is also often defined as skiladiko.
