I find that album of taksim particularly surprising in light of the fact that most of his material available on-line seems to be recordings of him
singing folkloric songs, with ud accompaniment, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmOEpLebHSg&ab_channel=%C5%9Eahi...
Does anyone have any substantial biographic information about him?cdroms - 5-9-2023 at 11:48 AM

Well I couldn't find real biographical info either, but scrolling through his recordings on qobuz https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/interpreter/rusen-y-lmaz/1207273 i noticed at least one taksim in garip hicaz, plus some pictures of him playing
cümbüs, and as far as I know those both point towards a Roma origin and style for Yilmaz. And stylistically he does seem not too far from Ergin
Kizilay, the only other example of 'modern Roma' style I've spent much time listening to (incidentally his solo oud taksim recording is one of my
favorites).
