Post Turkish, Armenian and Greek music in this thread!

[Edoman]

OK Chinchilla, none political music…lets see

This is a beautifully Armenian song done by legendry Googoosh. She is a Persian entertainer loved by many. My wife would kill for her concert tickets.
BTW, Googoosh is not Armenian.

For more modern times….
Now nobody can get you up and dancing better than Andy. Here is Andy and Armen (I love this guys voice). This was done two years ago.

This is another from Andy (In Farsi and Arabic with Spanish guitar) for us Persian Armenians. You have to dance to this one no matter where you are from.

Ooops.. I saw your other post under another topic:

"To be honest I haven`t been to Turkey at all.Would love to visit Turkey some time.Especially Istanbul but also my forefathers places in northern Turkey and other places in Turkey..."

Where are your forefathers from? Near Black Sea?

ps: Actually my question is still valid: How did you hear about Cem Karaca?

My grandfather and grandmother on my paternal side were from Keceli(small village) and Samsun.

My grandfather and grandmother on my maternal side were from Armutlu and Bursa.

As for Cem Karaca, I won`t tell you because it`s a secret.LOL.Just kidding.Seriously though, I think I saw it when I watching a Turkish or Greek documentary or something like that.

Hey Alexandros, do you (or did you) live in Turkey? How do you know about Cem Karaca and his legend?

Cem Karaca is a legend

Turkish music is mostly polyphonic and Armenian predominantly is monadic

Actually traditional Turkish music is monadic.

Arda and Vahe, I think we are having trouble about terminologies. What do you mean by monadic? Do you mean monophonic?

[Steph]

Certainly not traditional but my personal favourite, Hayko.

Actually traditional Turkish music is monadic. And an interesting note: The first modern noter of "Turkish" music is Armenian: Harpatsum...

Well, arda,the influence works both ways

[ardakilic]

Saco Armenian traditional music has so many different styles so no wonder there may be some styles with Turkish influence. Although the main difference of Armenian and Turkish music is that Turkish music is mostly polyphonic and Armenian predominantly is monadic. So it is very easy to differ the music with Turkish influence.

--Hi Edoman, I was surprised that you cannot stand Turkish music because it means you also cannot stand many of Armenian music. Similar musical scales, similar instruments, similar lyrics, vocals etc. I think you should reconsider your claim--

May, hate to burst your bubble or anything like that but Armenian and Turkish music doesn't have as much in common as you think. The instruments might be similar or common in both countries but when it comes to the sogs, we aren't as related as you think. You probably haven't heard enough Armenian songs.
