Ilıcalı Arkin is the creator of Mercan Dede is a Turkish has ro to a little schemes Turkish folk music and that also is criticized by purists for blurring or disclose a distorted musical link with Sufism. Or use the dervish dances, these dances mystical rotators dancers in its mise en scene of an unethical manner within the canons of Sufism.
Apart from that and for someone like me who know the roots of traditional Turkish music as I can only say from the perspective of the music itself without providing me or tell me.
The music of Mercan Dede provides a fusion of traditional Turkish music and other traditional oriental music with wind instruments and string or percussion stunning electronic music. The result is an electronic music with a strong oriental flavor and an almost haunting.
When Strangers in a place we do not know, we often fall in the understandably sometimes ridiculous conventions for natives themselves, there are cultures that are world famous for paella and flamenco, ole!. And for those who are a little more aware of the true culture of a place will inevitably be blush at such nonsense.
I say this because the music could also be foreign topics that fall into the silly and colorful without look or ignore the true essence of things.
But! say that music has universal power in both the language and the ability to transmit or take much more than just language or culture of a place, breaking the frontiers of knowledge or ignorance of the root of things, for that each of us invisible set this idyllic city setting, self-IF single transferable.
