In 2005, Putamayo's A&R man, Jacob Edgar, traveled to Turkey, a country that straddles Europe and Asia, hung out in its exotic nightclubs, and produced this compilation. If you were expecting to hear some belly-dancing, snake-charming tunes, this CD's 11 tracks will quickly disabuse you of those cliches. These selections exhibit a funky fusion of central Asia, the Balkans, and the Middle East that also includes rap, hip-hop, electronica, and even suggests Ballywood. Turkey's boy idol Tarkan serves up a spicy fluted-and-strings track on "Dudu," equally matched by Mustafa Sandal's Flamenco-flavored heartthrob number, "Kalmadi," with an evocative stringed instrument called a kanun. The ladies also get their groove on, as evidenced by Sertab Erener's whispery soprano on "Buda" and Nazan Oncel's New York-style rap, "Atiyosun." Turkey is an impressive cultural blend of East and West, and nothing signifies that blend better than its pop music. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Album Description

In 2005, Putumayo's head of A&R, Jacob Edgar traveled to Istanbul to immerse himself in Turkey's culture and discover its music. Though its cities are filled with the ancient architecture of its long history, Turkey is considered one of the most modern Muslim countries in the world. This cultural juxtaposition is most evident in Turkey's contemporary pop music scene, where classical traditions and instrumentation blend with sophisticated global pop and dance music. Turkish Groove, reflects this unique musical mosaic and joins the successful Groove series.

Much like their Western pop counterparts, Turkish stars push the limit of their society's standards of acceptability. As a result, Turkish pop music is crossing over to audiences outside Turkey, making inroads into the contemporary scenes of Europe and Latin America though remaining largely unknown in other parts of the world.

As Turkish pop takes its place on the international stage, its fusions of cultural traditions and modern techniques play to an ever expanding audience. Putumayo's Turkish Groove hopes to serve as an introduction to the contemporary sounds of this culturally rich country.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to Karnaval Kid in support of their efforts to improve childcare and education for disadvantaged children in Turkey.

5 out of 5 stars Turkish Delight.......2007-07-02

"Turkish Groove" is a tantalizing taste of Turkey;like Edmund in "The Lion,the Witch,and the Wardrobe" one listens to the Turkish Delight and wants more. It's sweet, savory, and from its opening song, it's an amazing journey into the exotic locales of Istanbul and Topkapi. It's a compilation that avoids the bellydancer&harem cliches.

It begins with Bendeniz's rousing "Kirmizi Biber",a catchy song in which a woman complains about her lover's neglect. Mustafa Sandal's "Kalmadi" and Gulseren's "Sinanay" (the latter is a humorous song about giving directions to Istanbul) both deflty weave Latin and Turkish rhythms. Sertab,who looks like a Turkish Trudie Styler (Sting's wife),sings the beautiful Asian-flavored "Buda"...a hypnotic song about finding nirvana like the Buddha. Though Turkey is predominantly Muslim, this song shows that Eastern&New Age spirituality have found inroads in that country bridging Europe and Asia. Turkish heartthrob Tarkan has the catchy "Dudu" (Ozgur Buldum Remix). Think of an Anatolian Justin Timberlake with an exotic,amazing sound and lots of talent. Emrah's "Kusursuzsun (Acoustic Version)" is a memorable song in its simplicity;it also shows how Turkish differs from Arabic. In fact,Turkish is linguistically related to Hungarian (Magyar) and Korean. Goksel's "Ayirilik Gunu" blends Bollywood and retro flavors. Tugba Ekinci's rousing "Oha Falan Oldum Yani",with its exotic instrumentation,is a passionate plea to a cheating lover;Ekinci shows that she has more than sex appeal,but amazing vocals as well. Nazam Oncel's "Atiyosun" is a poetic song about everyday life.

"Turkish Groove" is a compilation of appetizers of Turkish music;now I'd like to explore the music of Tarkan,Sertab,and Goksel further. "Turkish Groove" is a perfect introduction to Turkish music in its variety.It's a fun musical excursion to Istanbul and Topkapi

3 out of 5 stars Not Your Daddy's Groove Album...Though I Wish it Was!.......2007-04-14

Being a big fan of Putumayo's Groove series (having bought and enjoyed World Groove, Asia Groove, African Groove, and even Arabic Groove), I was really looking forward to Turkish Groove. I (mistakenly) figured that since it was in the Groove series it had everything that I was looking for - i.e. a blend of traditional ethnic music with funky Western electronica and/or hip-hop beats. Unfortunately, Turkish Groove fails to deliver on that premise. Unlike a previous reviewer, I found very little "hip-hop" about this album, and was thus disappointed.

Having said that, the (Turkish pop) music on this CD is enjoyable. The music is up-temple and you could probably dance to it - if you try real hard. Just be aware, it's not like some of the other CDs in Putumayo's Groove CD series.

4 out of 5 stars It Grows on You.......2007-04-08

I really like this CD. It is upbeat and has some great dance beats to it. I could have done without the hip hop/pop portions(not a big fan of that type of music) but even with that, it is a very good CD and it is on the player with my other top 3. The first song Bendeniz is great belly dancing music. It really gets the hips moving.
The only reason I gave this CD 4 starts is because of the very few hip hop areas, but even those are begining to grow on me.

5 out of 5 stars Tantalizing Turkish Musical Potpourri .......2007-04-07

We found Turkish Groove to be a great representative sampling of Turkish music. The songs were suitable for dancing, listening to or relaxing to.
We were pleased with the choices selected and have listened to the CD multiple times.

5 out of 5 stars Buy the music. Hear the music. Love the music. .......2006-10-25

I'm a huge Turkophile. Just don't get me started, I'll bore you for hours on how amazing Turkey is. Incredible history. Sublime landscapes. Limpid seas. Beautiful weather. Exquisite food. Gracious hospitality. Some of the most beautiful women (and men, I have on good authority) in the world. One of the most poetic and beautiful languages on the planet.

Not to mention incredible music.

Ah, the music.. Until you've been at a traditional peasant wedding on the Aegean, or to a nightclub in Van where the Kurds are breaking it down the Old School Anatolian way with a traditional eight piece band, well.. you just haven't been there. You haven't really heard it. And you can't know what you're missing. No CD will replicate those sort of experiences.

Not even this one. But it comes sort of close. This disk isn't old school like the music I heard the above mentioned places. But it catches some of that same energy and soul (NB: not soul as in Marvin Gaye, but soul as in Mehmet the Conquerer & the Book of Dede Korkut.) It's froth off the top of the rich Turkish pop scene. Music that's a fusion of the traditional with international pop influences.

And contrary to our Turkish friend from Izmir commenting here, I have to say that it does make sense. It's a nice melange of tunes. A taste of modern Turkey. Afyet olsun, as they say. For someone who's never heard anything from Turkey other than maybe Tarkan, this will prove a tasty morsel. BTW, Tarkmeister's a Turkish version of Ricky Martin, only a hundred thousand nintey nine million times as good. He is the only artist with two songs on this mix.

My favorite tune here is Sinanay, a folk cover, with a great irrepressible bass line. It opens with a Latin American dude asking for directions "Donde esta Istanbul? Estoy perdido aqui!" to which the Turkish girl goes "Istanbul?" And then breaks into poetic song telling the poor goofball how to get there. Just çok comik & wicked güzel, chooch.

Atiyosun deserves special mention, as well. The lyrics- as well as I can gather with my 500 word Turkish vocabulary- are a girl telling a guy to get lost. It's bracingly laconic, relentlessly catchy.

Those are two highlights. Know that there is nary a bad track on this thing.

So buy this disk, slap it on during your next party, and everyone will dig it, I promise you. Your parents, super hip acquintances, dorky friends, annoying roomate, maiden aunt.. Everybody. Why? Because it's groovy. It's Turkish. And - Need I say it? - like all things groovy & Turkish, it rocks.


PS. And be sure to go to Turkiye someday, if only in your dreams.

The Muslims won't hurt you. And more than a few Turks will welcome, even embrace you. You will always savour & never regret it.

5 out of 5 stars fun.......2007-02-21

Another great CD-this one has some songs that are a little too "technoie" for my taste for dance class or choreography. But great for general use. Very happy with my purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Funky Blue Belly Beatz.......2007-02-21

I just had to share with everyone this CD I got today (yes, some people still DO actually buy CD's...LOL!). OH-MY-GOD!!! It is rockinnnnnnnn' da house! You see me? I bought 3 CD's, today to feed my soul. The others are good, but this one makes my heart feel like it's gonna fly out my body! Oh my God, I put it in the CD player in my car, and I just cannot stop moving! I'm thinking of all kind of belly dance moves to do... but more importantly, it just sounds like my heartbeat, man. I just can't explain it more than that. It's sooooooooo funky!!!

Music, no matter what kind (if it is the kind you like), speaks to the soul. It is as if the music becomes the language your soul and spirit speaks... and it is the rhythm of your heartbeat. When something speaks so specifically, it as if I become my total self again. Such joy, reminds me of who I really am! I wonder if others feel this way. Gotta be.
Now, my top 5 favorite kind of music go exactly in this order:
1. Belly dance music
2. Bhangra & Chutney Soca
3. Salsa & Merengue
4. Zydeco
5.Soca
6. Reggaeton
7. Ghazals
(If you don't know the meaning of any of these terms, you can look it/them up. It'd take too long to explain )
I mean, of course I like more, but these musics would "turn me on", if you will. It is directly related to the dance moves induced as well. But more importantly, I think it is about an aural aesthetic; what one finds beautiful. I do believe it is also much related to one's ethnicity and perhaps cultural memories -- from this life, and perhaps ancestral memories, or even those memories from the collective unconscious. As I said, in the case of Turbo Tabla, it feels like someone whispering in your ear in only a language you can understand... speaking right into your brain. It sounds just as sweet as hearing your own name whispered in your ear. They say a person's name is the sweetest ever word-sound to them. (So fellas, if you don't already know... if a way to a man's heart is through his belly, then surely a way to some women's hearts, is through her ear.) Total erotica! The biggest sex organ is between the ears, yes? It all starts in the brain.
But, I digress. LOL!
I have a question for you all. Do you think one's ethnicity or ethnicities (in the case of us "mixed" folk -- and lots of us are, inevitably... even if we think we are purely one thing or another... but that is yet another tributary of discussion)... does one's ethnicity influence the way a person looks at the world aesthetically? Is what one finds beautiful, influenced by one's background(s). I believe that it is. I'd like to hear what someone else thinks. Now, I'm not speaking of aesthetics on the surface -- and that may sound like an oxymoron, yet it is not. I am referring to those things which appeal to you at a more gut level; an instinctual level. Some people may believe that that the business of what one finds beautiful or appealing, through the senses, a shallow business. I beg to differ.
I think what one choses to wear -- clothes, jewelry, adornment... how you wear your hair... how one choses to decorate one's environment... the kinds of food & music one likes... certainly to whom one is attracted... our interests... environments that makes one feel at home...fabrics... colors... scents we wear... scents we have around us... what music we like to hear... what languages sound sweet in our ears...all are influenced by our ancestral memories. These are the things which make us feel at home, cared for.... which make us love and feel loved... which makes our hearts feel more alive... which makes our souls soar... which touch us in places we never knew existed or had forgotten........ yes, I think these things aour a part of our collective unconscious.

Nonethless, for moments today, I felt like I could fly :-)
My heart danced.
*By the way, my favorite cuts so far on that CD:
#1 "Turbo Tabla 4 (Karim Nagi) --Drum anthem #4 in Turbo Tabla Tribal Lovers Series
#2 "Tahteeb Diesel" (Nagi, Ruskin) -- A southern Egyptian Cane Dance in a Detroit parking lot
#4 "Imlal Ilaqdah" (Traditional Arab & Andalusian) -- Fill the glasses up and let me drink til dawn.
#7 "Indiarab" (Karim Nagi) -- Belly Bhangra
This is part of the meaning of love, I say.

I bought this at the recommendation of my bellydance instructor. I was not disappointed. It's a great mix of slow, fast, instrumental and vocal accompanied arabic music. Not very traditional, but suited my practice purposes perfectly.

2 out of 5 stars It's okay, but doesn't sound like bellydance to me.......2007-02-18

I was hoping this would be techno or ambient versions of bellydance beats and a few songs are, but most are just Arabic pop sounding.

5 out of 5 stars Galactic Goosebumps..........2007-01-30

...is what some of these songs caused in me. hahaha I had to start with something corny. But no seriously it's a great cd and I'm glad I bought it. It's something that I can see myself playing for myself alone as a rock out to dance as a form of prayer and ultimate expression.

This album is a delightful composite of Turkish bellydance music, which brought back pleasant memories and visions of the graceful art of the dance. Even if you are not familiar with the dance, the instruments bring you to the Levant in an enjoyable way.

5 out of 5 stars More than get up and move.........2007-01-05

The music is lovely,haunting,thought provoking stuff, Great to move to and even greater kept low with candles and a fire to support conversaion or renewing your reason to be alive.Very invigorating fun energy, gets some strange looks from the people in the next car at stoplights, supports grinning freely.

5 out of 5 stars Energetic music!.......2006-11-06

Excellent CD to move to the beat. No one can stay seated with this music playing.

5 out of 5 stars guaranteed Turkish style.......2006-05-27

Every track of this CD offers lively inspiration for dancing and fantasizing. As a whole, the CD really delivers (with real instruments) the Turkish style of cabaret, which has never been for the faint of heart.

Track six, "Nihavent oyun havasi," is perfect for any dancer who needs pacing because the tempo is moderate, neither too fast nor too slow, while the overall mood is hypnotic, though more varied than in the first track "Desert Night Dance" which has more steady mystique, even in the fast part, and hence is excellent for dramatic veil work. Also the Nihavent music makes good use of zilya (finger cymbals) in a way that almost focuses the music around this small percussion.

The final track "Trakya ciftetellisi" is a real sweat drencher at eight minutes and twenty seconds. Not for beginners, it could leave even the most advanced dancer breathless but ecstatic!

5 out of 5 stars It got a beginner belly dancing!.......2005-01-06

I've very recently decided to take up belly dancing in the privacy of my own home, and while I've gotten much music lately, this CD had me up and trying everything I could think of in the living room. This one really inspired me. Listen to the samples! Enough slow rhythms to encourage undulation at a speed even I could accomplish.

This Cd is really great and has some really cool tracks, really makes you want to get up and dance. Or when you are tired of dancing just chill and listen to the cool grooves.AAA+++

5 out of 5 stars great music, great price........2005-09-29

from a non belly dance point of view, this is a great cd. for those of you interested in arabian instrumental music (which i'm sure is sadly very few), this is a great buy. catchy drum beats complete with ouds and other native instruments of the region make it a pleasure to listen to. not to mention you'll feel like you're in egypt (at least here in texas cause it's too damn hot). at a great price this is a great disc. pick it up!

3 out of 5 stars Good!.......2004-05-26

I have to disagree with the people that thought this was a bad CD. It might not be great, but it's good in terms of music variety and danceable songs. The price is excellent!! You won't be wasting your money if you buy this CD. The first track is wonderful for practicing zills. The third track really gets your hips moving, it starts slow (good for a veil intro) after that get ready to shimmy!!

1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!.......2003-11-08

Absolutely terrible music to dance to, do not buy this if you are looking for good belly dancing music.

Definitely 3-4 stars, but Sabla Tolo #1 is much better. That's a 5-star percussion CD with great Dumbek playing (and other percussion). See my review on Sabla Tolo. Better yet, just buy Sabla Tolo #1 -- you won't be disappointed: whether you like percussion in general, the dumbek specifically, or like to bellydance.

5 out of 5 stars I Wanna CD You Belly Dance.......2006-09-19

As a Red Elvis fan, I have to say this album is their crowning achievement. It's got plenty of Rock & Roll or Rokenrol if you prefer.

Russian rock has never been better than on this album. Igor's voice flows in and around the instruments like a well-oiled Elvis wig. All these songs are so catchy and downright "Rocking". Even the instrumentals (El Nino and After the Carnival) are catchy.

I'm Not That Kind of Guy and I Wanna See You Bellydance are the best works of the Red Elvises. The remake of Sad Cowboy Song is quite different from the version on their original cd and while both are great, this one is more upbeat and interesting. Again, Igor's voice on this album is unbeatable. If you're buying one Red Elvises album, make it this one.

5 out of 5 stars Eclectic, Energetic, Innovative, and they Rock.......2006-04-01

They do it all! They incorporate a variety of styles, and do it all well with their own personality and style. I can't decide if I like the Russian type music, the rockabillys, or the surf sounding tunes better. Their various styles seem to complement each other. This is the most interesting roknrol since the White Album.

3 out of 5 stars Not a Belly Dance CD!.......2005-10-11

Please don't buy this if you are looking for a Belly Dance CD. This is NOT. The song " I wanna see you Belly Dance" is the only song on the album that remotely relates to Belly Dancing. It is just a really fun song to play to get your feet moving or to use as a crowd pleaser. If you want to know what the album contains read the rest of the reviews as they have explained it pretty well. It's just some fun music to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Belly Dance comedy act.......2004-09-30

My Belly Dance Troupe uses "I Wanna See You Belly Dance" for a hilarious audience participation bit. The crowd goes crazy pushing their friends up on stage to see THEM belly dance.

4 out of 5 stars Your Favorite Band's Great Album.......2004-04-16

That the Red Elvises have yet to hit the mainstream is a crime. And the songs on this, one of their best efforts, is proof of that. Mixing traditional Russian with classic American rock 'n roll and surf rock, the music of Red Elvises' "I Wanna See You Belly Dance" grabs you by your dancing feet.

Igor's masterful work on "Rocketman," "Gypsy Heart," the title track et al are primo. Oleg rocks the house on each and every track with his balalaika bass, and brings "Sad Cowboy Song" to amusing life, which is arguably one of the best Red Elvises songs ever. Zhenya's vocalizations wrap it up with his soft stylings.

If you're interested in checking out the Red Elvises for the first time, this is the album you should get. Be sure that you are getting the English language version as there is also a version in their native Russian.

3 out of 5 stars Interesting French Horn Music.......1999-12-17

Fans and performers of French horn music will enjoy the Rhapsody and Rondo for Horn and Orchestra. This is a show piece, exhibiting all the techniques and acrobatics that a horn can do. But it is also pleasant, exuberant music to listen to, and is well performed here. It was written originally for Dennis Brain, and Marco Polo deserves the thanks of the French horn community for preserving this work. You won't find any other recordings of this horn piece, and this one is well worth owning.

    5 out of 5 stars Much Better than Volume # 1 !!!.......2007-02-27

    Flamenco Arabe Volume # 2 is a far superior recording session that outshines the 1st Flamenco Arabe in about every way possible... much better recorded & w/much more accomplished flamenco guitarist as well as adding a talented violinist to the mix all contribute to making this a completely satisfying experience of "flamenco arabe" music... i still don't hear much odd meter arabic /indian rhythms being played by flamenco guitarists [5s, 7s, 9s, 11s,etc] & therefore am still wanting to hear a more complete fusion of these neighboring cultures thru the music in future recordings BUT this is a grrreat recording that creates the basic environment of this fusion beauty-fully !!! Ole Andaluz !!!!!!!!
