This week, here at GME, we turn to the music of our neighbour, Turkey, and to its multiple interactions with Greek music. Turkish music is multifaceted, rich in tradition and talent, and open to many creative influences. Today, we shall be exploring the discography of my favourite Turkish band, Yeni Turku. Their musical style is characterized by a combination of traditional and modern musical instruments, including the oud, baglama, kemenche, qanun and guitar. Their music reflects influences from around the world (one example is Inti-Illimani band).
