¡A nice discovery! At first I was attracted by the drawing on the cover. Then by the topic: Tangos recorded by a famous turkish tango singer of the 40's and 50's. My imagination took flight.... Istambul just before or during the war... Spies and spices... Now seriously, I was not disapointed, but I was a bit surprised: the voice and the way Ibrahim Özgur sings those tangos turns out to be very relaxing. A bit different from the way Argentinians sing, since I would say they often do it with a bit more passion. But nonetheless this recording is plenty of nostalgia and suffering. Besides I love the way the turkish language sounds (since sadly enough I do not understand it). The music sounds nice. The pretty old recordings have beeen well treated. I already had a number of CDs of turkish classical as well as folk and popular music. This is completely different, except for the language, and maybe the soul, the spirit... As said, altoghether a nice adquisition.
