ORIGINAL: Boran Hi devilhand; i was just hangin around and saw your post by coincidence. I was really surprised when i listened to the music you shared. The music style and the instrument being played here is also one of the good examples of the Classical Turkish Music. The İnstrument is called " Ud" in our language. There are some more instruments which are really unique and sound really nice in this traditional kind. Here i share a link that you can listen to different kinds of pieces. All of them are performed with a "Ud" and all of them has a different form just like flamenco. Form is called "Makam" in this type of music. Like "Hicaz", " Kürd-i", " Nihavent" and so on...If you already knew what i explained here about this music and the instrument and its relation between Turkish music , then sorry to take your time :) But if not,and you are really interested in what you will hear, i can try to answer any question you'll ask. Take care. Heres the link..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA_42SUGDoc I'm not familiar with this music. I've always liked this kind of sound and wanted to play it on guitar. I wonder what is the purpose of this silence (about 3-5 seconds) between short phrases. They don't seem to relate to each other. Another thing is the long intro. For example, in the second video I uploaded, the singer starts singing at 5:40. To me, the oud music from Egypt in my video and the music, obviously Turkish, in your video sound the same. I guess there must be a difference between them and also between Turkish and Arabian oud instrument. Could you please elaborate on this?

There was one album with Belafonte and a popular Greek singer Mousekouri cut in '66 which has what I believe to be a handful of Greek standards. Harry Belafonte is one of my all-time favorite singers. I still have a vinyl copy of his 1956 album "Calypso," with "Day-O," "Jamaica Farewell," "Brown Skin Girl," and others. Great stuff. I also have a vinyl album by Nana Mouskouri. She sang in 12 different languages, and her voice was beautiful in all of them. The joint Belafonte-Mouskouri album came out, I believe, in 1966, the year Belafonte invited Mouskouri to tour with him. Nana Mouskouri wore black-framed glasses that looked very good on her. The story goes that Belafonte suggested she not wear the glasses while performing. Mouskouri was distraught and almost quit the tour, so Belafonte relented. I have always loved the sound of Eastern music and singing, beginning with Bulgaria and Greece and moving east into Turkey and the Arab Near East. The Bulgarian tambura, Greek bouzouki, and Arab oud all have that haunting minor key that, to my ear, never quite reaches resolution. Bill
