Ivo Papasov / Erkan Ogur
Since these two lovely music numbers I felt like writing, are quite different, I will pronounce them happy and sad. See, i’m trying to pretend there is a concept behind this, in order to justify the act of cramming these two in one post. Surely they deserve better than that.
Happy:
Although being the top wedding player [...]

If you’re living in NYC and are into the avant/jazz rock scene chances are you’ve heard of the power trio Rashanim. I’ve mentioned their myspace page before, but their new album Shalosh on Tzadik deserves a dedicated post. Rashanim is guitarist Jon Madof, bassist Shanir Ezra Blumenkranz (who was also playing the upright bass on [...]

A Hawk and a Hacksaw, definitely a charming name, very suitable to the Balkan tradition/lifestyle. Neutral Milk Hotel’s percussionist Jeremy Barnes composes, plays the drums and accordions and this time he’s teamed up with violinist Heather Trost and the brass players of the famed Fanfare Ciocarlia (which we featured here before.) from Romania. A Mildly [...]

Big ups to our newest contributer, the Turkish dnb mafia Golem, who is one half of Flatliners and who has been involved in Istanbul music scene since day one. Let me add that he’s got a versatile taste although he plays dnb, I remember seeing him at a Moonspell concert back in the day and [...]

If everything’s gone right, you’ll be seeing this post and we’re hopefully in Prague.
Hadouk Trio is the brain child of Didier Malherbe and Loy Ehrlich with percussionist Steve Shehan. All three are multi instrumentalists, and the music sounds very rich and the instruments are warm, especially the Dodouk (from which the second part of [...]

I had thought of following up Esbjoern Svensson Trio with Israeli bassist Avishai Cohen’s astounding album “Continuo” on Razdaz Records, but as you see a few posts got in the way. Avishai’s music feels familiar to me because he’s from Israel, that means he’s from the Middle East if you’re not skilled in geography and [...]

Just in sync with Motel de Moka’s recommendation of undomondo for Turkish music, our news hound error101 has been digging the crates for some old Turkish music, and apparently 2 great oldies mp3blogs have published some 60’s 70’s Anatolian Rock albums in the same time as well. Has the world at last tapped into this [...]

Hi, here I am with some special ethnic music for you. A few nights ago as I was coming home and Shinanay, a well known traditional Aegean song sprang to my mind. The reason I still remember this song is because of a rendition by Omar Faruk Tekbilek the world renowned Sufi-ethnic musician from Turkey, [...]

Here’s the second part of the list, this time a little bit more with folk and avantgarde influences.
Pierre bastien - Deuxieme Teleconcert Moderato
Pierre Bastien is a wonderful musician. His robotic orchestra and his compositional ability is almost superhuman. In a time where everything is electronic, taking the hard way and creating an unmatched [...]

Gotan Project’s new album Lunatico is upon us, and it’s a charming sophomore album after the marvellous 2001 debut “La Revancha del Tango“. The production and sound quality is top-notch and their Tango-fused Latin American sound has surely got richer. Lunatico was recorded in Buenos Aires with local session musicians; a complete string section, two [...]
