TÜRKÜLER SEVDAMIZ 3
OUR LOVE OF FOLK SONGS 3
TOLGA SAĞ YILMAZ ÇELIK MUHARREM TEMİZ ERDAL ERZİNCAN
Iber Müzik Yapım
These four singers and bağlama players are members of the Alevi community in Turkey. Of the four of them Erdal Erzincan is maybe the most known in France.Their association started in 1997 and this third tape is the last one. Each singer has his songs and they alternate with group singing and the result is very impressive. The notes are in Turkish only with the lyrics.
I suppose you can find some information about Turkish-Kurdish Alevi people in English on the internet. I would recall nevertheless that these people are targeted by religious and civil authorities and are sometimes murdered as in the criminal fire of a hotel in Sivas in 1993 where 37 persons died when they gathered for the Pir Sultan Abdal festival.
