Common Turkish and Greek Musics



This music was recorded by Orhan Osman from Turkey and Fanis Mavikanis from Greece.
Instrument is bouzouki which is well known traditional Greek instrument (Greek: μπουζούκι). The name "bouzouki" comes from the Turkish word "bozuk," meaning "broken" or "modified", and comes from a particular re-entrant tuning called "bozuk düzen", which was commonly used on its Turkish counterpart, the "saz-bozuk". It is in the same instrumental family as the mandolin and the lute. Originally the body was carved from a solid block of wood, similar to the saz, but upon its arrival in Greece in the early 1910s it was modified by the addition of a staved back borrowed from the Neapolitan mandola, and the top angled in the manner of a Neapolitan mandolins so as to increase the strength of the body to withstand thicker steel strings. The type of the instrument used in Rembetika music was a three-stringed instrument, but in the 1950s a four-string variety was introduced. [Taken from Wikipedia]

And here it is "Gulbahar" from "Cafe Aman Istanbul". Cafe Aman Istanbul was founded in 2009 by Stelios Berberis and Pelin Suer. After some time bouzouki player Dimitris Lappas from Thessaloniki joined them.
