Nar

No authentic collection of mystical music can be considered complete without this one. Poetic, haunted, and haunting. The story that unfolds as you listen is one where the heart is set on fire with and by the mysteries of the human conscious in exploration, aided by ancient traditions and voices. A must have.

Mercan Dede (translated your grandfather's mustache) a.k.a. Alan Arkin is a modern day genius of composition. He combines New Age with traditional Middle Eastern Sufi instruments, rhythms and melodies. The results are stunning other worldly creations of musical landscapes of caravans, spinning Sufi dancers and traditional belly dancers. Believe me, it takes something to capture my interest away from my love Old Time String Band Music. Mercan Dede did it in a big way. He can and probably will hypnotize you. You won't be disappointed.

I like the authentic yet modern style of Mercan Dede. "Nar" and "Sufi traveler" are my favorite CDs. "Nar-i Cem" is a special song for me. It is on top of the list among my compassion inducing songs.

Gute Musik, werde ich Freunde weiter empfehlen.Musik zum Entspannen und Träumen.Wenn ihr Musik mit Sinn sucht, dann holt ihr diese CD ist Empfehlenswert

This man Mercan Dede is the most imaginative and lyrical musician i have ever heard. The music has a dream-like quality and very harmonious sweet phrasing. The drumming is sharp,soft and brilliant. Superb music, thank you to Mercan Dede for giving it to us!
