Culturally rich and diverse, Turkey has undergone radical changes over the past century, with elements of the Ottoman Empire, Europe and the Islamic traditions all merging to redefine the national identity and influence factors such as art and music. The music you hear is a fusion of classical, folk, ottoman military music, Islamic hymns and western influences - the result being an unexpected and ultra-modern ethnic mix ideal for any occasion. Traditional Turkish music, originally enjoyed by the Ottoman sultans, hails from Arabia and Persia. It is monophonic, with unequal intervals, and improvisation - known locally as 'taksim' - is the key. It's a haunting and often mysterious sound that serves as the perfect backdrop to the ancient wonders of Turkey.
