Laïkó was the pop music of Greece the 1950s and 1960s. Laïkó is similar to Turkish fantasy music. The influence of Oriental music on laïkó can be most strongly seen in 1960s indoyíftika, Indian filmi (popular music for movies) with Greek lyrics. Manolis Angelopoulos was the most popular indoyíftika performer, while pure laïkó was dominated by superstar Stelios Kazantzidis and Stratos Dionisiou.
