Extremely good DayI!!
I've seen on TV a Turkish who played excelent tubeleki,but I don't remember his name,I've heard that he is considered one of the best.Do you have in mind to who I'm refering?

Very nice DayI!!
Baglama has a very Turkish sound for my ears,and I like it a lot.

Is he famous in Turkey?Orhan Osman.
He plays rebetika here in the City.
opa

Sagapo by Orhan

A very good solo

Thats sound very Greek to me

I see a lot of people in the magazi( ) where he sings,I know that many Greek who visit Turkey go there.

And a difficult question for you: Who is better buzukcis? Orhan(see solo link ^) or Nikolopoulos... difficult ehh??

The "black-kara" its seems to exist since they wore black fustanellas and the tradition says that they started to wear black after the fall of Polis when they started to flee to Agrafa mountains to escape from the slavery.
So the Ottomans called them(and one of my ancestors) so and thats how they are known when they spread to all over Balkans.

Thanks kotumeyil

Originally posted by Patrinos Look what I've found,a band of three Greeks and a Turk: Kazantzidis' songs And look him playing turkish music/Fidayda Very nice music!!!! The band's name is Ithikon Akmaiotaton.

Now that's culture, tradition. I find the posturing through the dagger ritual very similar to caucasian(from caucases) posturing in their dances.
