Another great collection. Varied mix of Turkish pop, folk, gypsy sounds, etc. I’d give every track at least one star. As always, read the notes.
*1. Good fem. vox singing Turkish pop..
*2. Slow opening into melodic pop/dance..
3. Strings, percussion, female voice. Big.
4. Nice male vox in an upbeat pop love song.
5. Radio intro, dance beat, male vox. Cool..
*6. Flamenco guitar, slower, romantic fem vox.
*7. Turkish protest band. Mid-tempo. Cool voices
*8. Gypsy guitar, clarinet, bouncy contemp. Folk
*9. Great Turkish/Moroccan blend. Upbeat.
10. Brassy folk/rock w/female vox.
11. Cool bagpipy-sound, chorus. Mid-tempo..
12. Clarinet/percussion, happy, klezmer-esque.
13. Female chorus w/an Arabic sound. Mid.
14. Elegant version of a classical Ottoman song.
15. Male voices, slow to mid-tempo Sufi chant.
