Quoting thehandsom: I think arabesk music is more than a music. It is culture. It is a sub culture.
In Turkey, arabesk, somehow, represents the village culture being carried into cities. or people come to big cities from their villages and try to fit there. it is the culture they live in.
I will write more on the topic...continued |
That may be true in Turkey, but in New York City it is listened to as well, and those people are very urban. I have some of Bulent Ersoy's music that was labeled as Arabesk. I have them because of the interesting voice and musical composition.
Maybe it's like the way soul music was thought of in the US some years ago as it was definitely looked down on. The same thing is true of Country music, although now things have changed.
As for me, I have a very eclectic music collection of everything from arabesk, Classical Egyptian, Peruvian flute, Kabuki, Shostakovitz, Ravel and so forth.
