A student recently asked me to name some Turkish songs in 9/8 besides the well-known Rampi Rampi and Mastika. Here are a few that are easy to find.
Each song below links to a single example. There are many, many recordings of these songs – choose the ones you like best.
- Penceresi Yola Karsi
- Aksaray’in Taslari
- Dere Geliyor Dere
- Dört Beygir
- Kizim Kizim
- Limoncu
- Rumeli Karsilamasi
- Yüksek Yüksek Tepeler
Did I miss one you think should be on here? Let me know. 🙂
