Hello from Turkey
 

Hi folks. I'm Ufuk. I'm twenty four years old. I'm a student at university. I study public administration. I played guitar but because I haven't talent about playing it i gave up this occupation.

Music is my life. Generally i listen rock music but i try to listen every quality music genre. One of my favorite American singer is Tracy Chapman. And Fast Car is song of my life.

Because to share my music taste I registered this site. Especially i'm active in section of Country, Folk & World Music.

Maybe you're interested in Turkish music. I'm sharing Turkish music singer. You should know Turkish music. There are very talented musician in our country.
But my favorite Turkish singer is Şebnem Ferah. Şebnem Ferah is a rock artist. You should listen her. I mostly want to introduce her. In fact I opened a topic about her.

Oh Im sorry. Its catchy,your parents were so modern.

Welcome to MB.

Tracy Chapman is pretty great. A humble, yet extremely talented woman.

Had to ask about the name, but welcome. Can you recommend any good Turkish oud players? I like the instrument a lot but haven't heard it used in the traditional sense, it's always used by experimental improvisers I listen to.

No need to be sorry. Yes, it's catchy. I should have guessed that it could misunderstood. Due to my name, my some friends ridicule me sometimes.

After all English and Turkish are different two languages :)

No, my parents aren't quite modern.

Maybe we should come up with something a little more English friendly. Lest what happened happen again. I mean U-Fu ck. No no, that simply wont do.
