Modern Turkish music


I have recently been watching some Turkish tv dramas and have been very impressed with the quality of the productions, but especially with some of the soundtracks.  They seem to be a fusion of Eastern & Western mix, which sounds very nice to my ears.  I will post them here and would like your opinions and if you know of any more.  Furthermore, there is one rap song I have listened to which I have also been quite impressed with.  Rap is NOT something I listen to at all, but this one has struck a chord with me.

Note that some of the recordings are actually quite bad but that is all I could find on youtube.  Some songs have hi res versions on Apple Music and/or Quobuz but not all.  If you know of better quality recordings, I would like to know.

Here are some of them.  Since I have not been able to crack the magic of how to add more than one link to each message, I will add one in separate messages.

(If you also know how to do that, it would be great to know)

Check out Saran's music selections over at 6moons.com. His tastes venture all around those regions and it might be up your alley. You might also like Antakya by Quadro Nuevo, one of my all time favorite artists.

I listened to Quadro Nuevo. They are quite different and very nice. Thanks for the suggestion :-)

@cakyol ,

Yes, there's something about that group and the way they play together. I took a CD of theirs over to the owner of a high end audio saloon that I know who played in an orchestra and he just smiled all the way through it, saying "these guys are having fun." 

All the best,

I do love Turkish music, I think Turkish language is very expressive and full of emotions, and very musical. Loads of drama, and great mix between oriental and occidental influences.
