The jump towards the taksim

Alessandro - 9-27-2008 at 11:12 AM

Hello everyone,

I have been looking in on this site for about a year (since I started playing my kamil mwes!) and feel it is about time i set about tackling the taksim. the only problem is that I am having trouble finding CD's to study. For example, CD's by Husain Sabsaby, Yurdal Tokcan and Abadi el Johar seem impossible to buy over here in france. Does anyone have any ideas? I would like to start listening to more taksim so as to get my ear around the ornaments and the vocabulary of this fantastic art form.

Thanks to all in advance,

Alex

Riad al Sounbati.


Do the following search:
riyad sunbati oud

I think you can find a site to download the album.
