Description
The YEKSAD folk ensemble perform a sweeping collection of Turkish Cypriot dances. Cyprus is an island in the eastern part of the Mediterranean, south of Turkey and west of Syria. The island has a temperate climate with hot, dry summers and cool winters. The traditional sounds of the Island include laid-back folk tunes, more rhythmic and upbeat ancient melodies and beautiful ensemble pieces performed on violin, flute, clarinet, guitar, accordion and darbuka (drum). Enjoy the sound of Northern Cyprus.
"… Music primarily of a Turkish vein with some additional influences; small Greek inflections and the use of the nawal (a flute associated with the Balkans). The music is well performed…" – AllMusic.com
