Do Greek Jews not have a tradition to refrain from listening to music during Sefirat Haomer?

Last year, I attended the Greek Jewish festival in the Lower East Side of New York (which was awesome, by the way. Definitely going again this year and I recommend it to anyone else who can make it). However, one thing that threw me for a bit of culture shock was the addition of live music and performances at the event, even though it was a week before Lag Baomer.

Now I’m acutely aware that Jews from all over the world have their own practices and traditions, and the Yeshivish mentality I was exposed to throughout my childhood is by no means a global norm, but it did get me to wondering if the Romaniote Jews have a different way of observing the mourning of the students of Rabbi Akiva.
