Zeybekler 2

 

DAVUL ZURNA ILE / ZEYBEKLER 2

TURKISH FOLK MUSIC FROM ANATOLIA

Emir Müzik, no date, 021

Turkey is the place where the couple davul-zurna is still very strong in almost every part of the country.
Here the band (grubu) with several davuls and zurnas is led by Üstad Nac
ı on zurna and kabak zurna. The repertoire comes from the West coast of Anatolia (the list of towns is on the cover) and is totally traditional.
The cover says as well : ''our authentic folklore from the past to the present''.
The zeybek is typical of the Egean area and has four different slow or fast forms based on a 9 beats rhythmic cycle. Usually danced by one man it is sometimes danced by 4 or 5 men in a circle; this dance is said to underline the bravery, power and integrity a man could display.
The kabak zurna is really powerful and the whole music is very exciting.
