In the dry, sun-baked hills of Anatolia was born a folk music of passion and rhythmic energy. Musicians of the secretive Moslem Sufi sect adapted this powerful music for religious rites and created a lively, raw musical form. These songs are still a staple of popular music in Turkey, where Ali Ekber Cicek is regarded as the premier interpreter of Sufi music. In his rendering, classic Sufi works become a showcase for startling technical prowess on the lute-like baglama and the emotive powers of his voice. This is a master's tour of a sophisticated musical form rarely heard west of the Bosphorous.
