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.

Feel Like Folkin' It Up: Necip Yilgin and "Konyali"
Today's random tune is from Turkey. Unfortunately, I won't be able to tell you much about the artist, Necip Yilgin, because I can't find too much material about him. He is a graduate of the Turkish State Music Conservatory, and served as choir director at the Istanbul University Faculty of Law. He is a music director, arranger, composer and performer. This song, Konyali, refers to a folk dance from the city of Konya in Turkey, and can be found on the album Sound of Cappadocia. Cappadocia is a region in central Turkey.
