For my ancestors. Blessed be.

A collection of 10 tracks which include music from the accordion, ukulele, banjo and mandolin

A tour around the world in 30 tracks from 30 different countries. Moving from Europe to the Middle East to Asia, Africa, Oceania and America. Includes Sigur Ros, Amadou & Mariam, Ravi Shankar and many more.

Sit back, relax and drift around the globe.

So while shuffling one day, iTunes decided to play me the same 8 songs twice, in one day...and in the same exact order....twice...in one day. This is the resulting mix, and it's quite exotic.

Here is a selection of various styles of Anatolian (Turkey's) music, in various languages: Turkish, Kurdish, Zazaki, Ladino, Albanian, Lazuri, Armenian. Some songs are joyous, some sad, some uplifting. Some might be hard to listen to for starters, but give them a try, and you might end up enjoying them very much...

Arabic Folk music. From Lebanon's Fairuz and Marcel Khalife to Dhafer Youssef.

From some of my all-time favourite films, like American Beauty, Amelie, and O Brother Where Art Thou.

On the road with a backpack & lots of hope. 120 Tracks & 8 Hours!

A melancholic mix ranging from classical to folk music. Nyman, Preisner, Umebayashi, Yoko Kanno, Ugurlu, Reboutsika, Gershwin, Yansimalar, etc...

"Please, just for me, forget the steps... Hold me, feel the music, and give me your soul.
Then I can give you mine."

A mix of Rebetiko, Edexno, and even Laika (yeah, I know, I know). Greek music is not that different from Anatolian music, in terms of the feelings it encompasses in the melodies. "Yassou" from the other side of Aegean...

And he grabs Shera
and all say: "Allah! Allah! Ei Öyle olsun!!''

A playlist for traditional songs. Five different countries with common musical sounds. Many of the songs are very famous, especially some remakes such as the famous theme song from Pulp Fiction 'Misirlou'.
