[edit] Similarities
Laika is similar to the Serbian Turbo-folk, they have the same sort of Etno-Ambient Underground Dance-melodies, but the Laika differs from turbo-folk, since Laika has Rebetika as its "father".
Not to be confused with (although derived from) Laïkó, another Greek music-style, more traditional and less commercial.
