A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Ghoulish: Aylin Aslim and "Güldünya"
Your random tune for today is from Turkey and is sung by Aylin Aslim. Aylin Aslim was born in Germany but raised in Turkey from the age of one year onward. In her career, she has switched back and forth between rock and electronica, singing in bands of both types in Istanbul. Her first album was released in 2001 and she has put out four albums, the latest in 2013. This song, Güldünya, is a melancholy tune about dying which asks "who is aware of who is buried in this world?" You can find Güldünya on Aslim's 2005 album Gül Yabani.
Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
