VA - Discover Music from Turkey (2015)

This collection highlights various forms of traditional Turkish music. Largely due to Turkeys situation at the crossroads of Europe, North Africa, The Middle East and Central Asia, its traditional music has influenced and been influenced by numerous cultures throughout the ages. Turkeys strong musical traditions are wide indeed, ranging from its folk and classical repertoire to mosque music and Sufi, among others. Perhaps most famously, the spectacular Whirling Dervishes of the Mevlevi order have brought worldwide attention to Turkish Sufi since the 1970s when they began to tour outside of Turkey.
