New Music From My Turkish Friends
This is a recent concert including Filiz Kaya Bodur, a Klasic Kemence player whom I met while in Canakkale, Turkey. She played a few songs for me then, an outstanding, rare experience. The Klasic Kemence is an Ottoman era instrument, played by stopping the strings with the nails instead of the fingertips. I am drawn by it's vocal, singing quality, and it's nice to hear her beautiful playing again. The gentleman is playing the baglama, a lute derived instrument in wide use throughout Turkey and the Middle East.
