Let's talk Turkey

Amaranth | Northern California | 10/11/2006

(2 out of 5 stars)

"In time for Thanksgiving...you can get "The Greatest Songs Ever:Turkey" from TIME-LIFE! Play it alongside the cranberry sauce and stuffing.

Turkey is an interesting place,at the crossroads of Europe&Asia.Its music has ancient roots.However,this album is generic Middle Eastern music at best,it would make good background music for a restaurant that serves hummus and falafels.Nem,Cengiz Teoman and Sukriye Tutkum provide the few highlights,blending Turkish traditions with modern sensibilities.The Esin Engin Orchestra,which has alright instrumentals,might be good muzak--or exotic music,depending on one's mood.

If you're interested in Turkish music,seek out Tarkan (the Turkish Ricky Martin),Ilhan Ersahin (who makes smooth Turkish jazz)or Putumayo's "Turkish Groove" instead.That's genuine Turkish Delight."
