Fuckin' A. He's \m/

where can i access his music?

 

[Serhan_pnr]

i really don't know if his albums are sold all around the world but he is known in Europe, he had many concerts there with his band "Telvin". i guess you can find some of his records on amazon or ebay. thanks for the response btw.

be sure to check out the third link..."The Earth" or "The World" (the two words are the same in english) by erkan ogur and yavuz cetin. east meets west!

A couple of albums on eMusic which seem to be film soundtracks. I've added them to my "saved for later" list. Sounds good.

Sounds great to my ears.

since we're exchanging folk/local must hears, i implore you guys to to listen to the Indian violin maestro Kunnakudi Vaidhyanathan. here a link Kunnakudi Vaidhyanathan

^ appreciate it!
though i'm not a huge fan of the 'world music' label with is stuck with pretensions (IMO), i love listening to folk music.

check out the Master Musicians of Joujouka from Morocco, the Baul Singers of West Bengal (India), Ry Cooder with Ali Farka Toure (Mali) and Tinariwen if you can, I'm sure an open mind will gobble these artists up.

 

[Serhan_pnr]

I'll check them out

links please!
