(V/A)- Turkey: Traditional Songs and Music (Lyrichord, 1977)

Turkish field recordings compiled & edited by Wold Dietrich, 1968-1977.

"...Among these pieces there are some relatively old forms but also some new, more urban forms. With one exception all these documents are on-the-field recordings made in various villages during several trips to Turkey in 1968-1977. they illustrate main tendencies- those which are disappearing and others which are developing- in Turkish music of today." (Cover notes)

I've found I'm generally drawn to most anything that's taqsim. 320 Vinyl rip by yours truly. Lyrichord, 1977 (LLST 7356).

Reupped the Link. Here's a replacement for Tracks 10 & 11, for those of you who'd download the erroneous rip: track 10 4-minutes, tracks 11 & 12 the same length.
