Kayhan Kalhor- Kula Kulluk Yakisir Mi (10 SPOT 2013)
Iranian kamancheh player Kayan Kalhors East meets East projects have
brought some tantalizing cultural hybrids to full flower. The on-going
collaboration with Anatolian baglama master Erdal Erzincan is one of the
most striking of them. The source material for their improvisations in
this intense and fascinating performance - recorded in Bursa, to the
south of Istanbul - includes music from all over Turkey and music of
traditional Persian provenance. These two master musicians from Teheran
and Erzurum intertwine melodies, revisit The Wind (title piece of their
2004 recording), and create instrumental music which acknowledges
tradition but declines to be restricted by it. http://www.kayhankalhor.net
