Dam Üstüne Çul Serer - Turkish Song

Vocals & arrangement by Farya Faraji. This is a Turkish folk song covered by many Turkish artists throughout the years. I wanted my arrangement to be a mixture of a deeply Anatolian folk sound with more recent Western influences, therefore there is a kopuz and a ney, a very folk, esoteric and Sufi-reminiscent combination in tandem with a Western chord progression that has come to characterise more modern pop-arrangements of Turkish folk music. The maqam of the song is Huseyni, identical to the Western Aeolian with the difference of a microtonal second interval.
