One of my favourite Greek folksongs is Lady Vangeline (there's a thread here for it). It's in the not-particularly-unusual time of 7/8. My arrangement for bouzoukis can be heard at MySpace-Tonitru-Lady Vangeline; I've also done rather romanticized choral arrangements. Happy to share PDF scores, contact me at musicusarbutus@gmail.com. A folk group here in Victoria BC, Jamshed, specializes in Balkan music and has no trouble playing in 13/8 - I've heard them do it! Check them out on Facebook - they'd probably be happy to share some repertoire.
