Turkish Music

Last week I was in Turkey for holiday. I was quite intrested in traditional turkish music and wanted to bring as much music with me as possible.

Too bad that I visited marmaris, one of the most touristic spots. It's easier to buy there a CD of Britney Spears, then traditional music.

There was one guy with a little shop who sold cassette's but he didn't speak english. So I bought a battery cassette's which frontpicture let me expect traditional turkish music. I was quite disillusioned to hear some extraordinary turkish R&B pop mixture when I was back home.

Can someone recommend me a web-shop wich sells turkish music, and where it is possible to let it ship to europe/netherlands.
And are there some name's I should look after when I'm intrested in turkish music?

Thnx all

Here's a famous Turkish artist Erkan Ogur who plays a fretless guitar (he calls it "zero" action

)...

Here's a sample of his playing from his album "Fretless".
