Finally!
I'm getting a little burned out on my music, placed another Tulumba order because the restaurant owner wants more Roma, less Turkish Oriental music. I am learning that their taste in music ha little to do with customer joy, and probably is due to him and the cooks feeling homesick....god knows he wouldn't know a Turkish pop song from the last 10 years if it bit him in the ass.

I've been wanting to once more use a song I only know as "Aman Bey Bey" that I love, but I only have a multi-generation copy of it in which the sound quality is a little suck and that's why I took it out of the line-up.

Today,thanks to this article, I now know that the song is Agam by Ciguli and have ordered it. Unfortunately the only in-print cd I could find is a 2 cd set of "Gypsy Grooves" but the Agam seems to be un-remixed. I did find remixes of it as well.

So, what Turkish Rom are you listening to? I use Gypsy Fire, Music of Suluke,  Trakya Dance Party and Canden Ercetin's Aman Doktor and a compliations cds from various workshops (many of which I then spend time trying to find the original versions of songs/artists) a whoooole lot. And a earload of Selim Sesler.s

ahk! misirlou. :) glad to see someone else shares the obsession.

So far I have a nice version by Giota Nega, another by Manolis Agelopoulos, of course George Abdo, and one by a group called Americanistan.
