DAVUL ZURNA ile ZEYBEKLER / ''YÖRÜK KIZI''
Germencikli BASRİ EĞRİBOYUN ve ARKADAŞLARI
Seda, ?, 008
This tape was bought in Paris at a local Turkish shop. This is one of the many tapes about the dance and music called zeybek usually associated with the Aegean Sea region but which is present in other parts of Turkey. The title ''the yörük girl'' refers to a nomadic population originally, the Yörüks, whose name means ''those who walk''. Closely related to the Turkmens they claim to be of pure Türk descent. They are almost all settled now and are quite numerous in the Taurus area.
As usual there is no information about the tunes or the performers.
The list of tracks shows 19 tracks but there are only 17 according to what I can hear. Now I don't know about the titles of the two extra tracks in the list. This is the reason why I didn't put any title in the audio file. Maybe real connoisseurs among you might sort that out.
A very good tape anyway if you like davul and zurna music in its traditional aspect.
