Macedonian music serves as a link between the traditions of Epirus and Thessaly in central and southern Greece and the music of Thrace and Istanbul, making the study of Greek song evolution difficult without it.

A wide variety of musical instruments and topics covering all human life events are featured. Thessaloniki also has a unique music history as a major Mediterranean port integrating many traditions.
