About the Album
Hakan’s first solo album. Improvisations on themes from around the world. Recorded in Indiana, USA.
Notes
Taksim meaning “distribution” is a term for traditional Turkish improvisation. Sultaniyegah is a traditional Turkish scale/ makam. Saz Semaisi is an instrumental Turkish form, traditional played at the closing of vocal concerts. The name of the composer here translates: Sir Arif the Pilgrim and Kanun Player It is unknown to me whether this song sang by the Afghan singer Ahmad Zahir is also composed by him or not. If you know who the composer is, please get in touch with me.
