Turkish Music Podcast! Great Radio Show from Oberlin ETHN 209

As part of Oberlin's Ethnomusicology course about Balkan Music, Oberlin College and Community Radio ( 95.1 ) has created a radio about Balkan music. I've listed the first installment of the Radio show here. Fittingly, they begin with Turkish Folk music which basically influences everything in the Balkans. There are explainations of instraments, music theory and culture. It deals mostly with Turkish folk and Classic music. So sit back and enjoy.


.Mp3 Version : Classical and Folk Turkish Music

This is the RSS feed, complete with music, so you can subscribe to the radio show on iTunes:

The Balkan and Middle Eastern Music Radio Show also has a website, although the RSS feed works just as well because its just a listing of the .mp3s.
