Üsküdar

Video Find of the Day

Broadstripe still sucks, so I'm resigned to sitting in the office late after hours to use the internet. I'm there now, waiting for some stuff to download to my precious new laptop, which I expect will solve some of these problems, perhaps in a way that involves me spending more time than I wanted in a Starbucks.

Wikipedia says Üsküdar is the part of Istanbul on the Anatolian side of the Bosporus, and it was where Florence Nightingale got famous. These violinists were performing there. I don't know what the music is called.

YouTube found this for me. They're powered by Google. Google reads souls. Since they recommended it, it must be safe for all the family. ATV stands for Aktif TV (Turkey).

Anatolian Folk Music

Video Finds of the Day

As of this post deliderviscom has provided 1911 videos on YouTube, and as far as I can see they're all videos of Anatolian folk music. How can this be? I don't know, maybe deliderviscom is a TV station or the Turkish equivalent of Time-Warner. Anyway, it's a find.

There's a lot of variety. You have the stage productions,

Türk Dünyası Müzik Topluluğu - Şefo'nun Evi Kaleye Karşı



Cinematic presentations,

Sabahat Akkiraz - Ses Verin Sesime Dağlar



... and just folks,

Arix - Sivas (Ağıt Arşivi)
