#3482: New Music a la Turk (or From Turkey)
It’s Turkish and Turkish-inflected music on this New Sounds, with many examples of traditional Turkish rhythms, melodies, and instruments. Listen also to musicians who incorporate Turkish musicians, including a number of outfits from Canada. Hear music from the Montreal-based Esmerine, a chamber rock band which includes the likes of Sarah Neufeld (of Arcade Fire), members of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and a quartet of Turkish musicians.
Then there’s music from the famed Mevlevi Dervishes, followed by music from the 21st century dervish Mercan Dede, who combines modern settings with Sufi-inspired material to set up an hypnotic otherworldly space. Plus, music based on traditional Turkish folk tunes from Minor Empire, another Montreal-based group, built around singer/composer Ozgu Ozman and guitarist/composer/producer Ozan Boz. And more.
