Turkey will be a frequent stop. To being with it's a pretty big music industry so in considering any music being made in that continent, Turkey has to come up. Big or small, there is no doubt that Turkish music is just beautiful. The language is beautiful, the instrumentation, folk/traditional elements, chord progressions, style of singing, etc., etc. I could go on for days.
But today is just a simple day enjoying a good song "Hadi Git" by İlkay Akkaya, a title that simply means "Let's Go". Don't know much about this singer or anything. It popped up on my feed and I dig it. That's all there really ought to be to music, don't you think? I'm obsessed with folk fusion songs write now. Obviously the best place to go for those are Turkish, Bulgarian and Arabic music. The percussion is what gets me most. In this song, it's pretty strong, too. You begin with traditional folk percussion and eventually graduate to a more dance-synth, Western sound. It's probably got your head bobbing either way. One thing I'm a little wary of by now in Turkish music is the weepy voice. It's probably more prominent in female singers, but it affects male singers too. I understand that it's part of the style, part of the emotion, even, but after so long I just say I like it. This woman is not really so bad for the weepy sound, but she's definitely got it. I'll complain more later, I'm sure.
