Takim

Hi guys,

I just wanted to write a recommendation for an album/group in Greece. Their name is "Takim" and they play a beautiful mix of Greek, Turkish, Spanish, and Balkan music that is really expertly done. The oud player is very young but his talent and skill make you think he is much older. His name is Thomas Konstantinou, and everyone in this group is simply amazing. Also featured is a beautiful Turkish singer, Eda Karaytug.

Their first album, produced by Pantelis Thalassinos (a very well-known singer/musician/composer), is titled simply "Takim" and can be purchased from any seller of Greek music. Here is where I got my copy: http://www.greekmusic.com/

Take care,

Hey Mav.

I trust your tast and your judgment but is there any way of getting a sound samples?

They did not put even a single track for people to listen.

Unfortunately the oud player doesnt show much of his fantasy and talent (he plays perfect and i like his sound) and there is no taxim from him :(

Hope you like it

This track is so nice.

Mav. is right the oudest is too good , I could tell by his technique at .58 mark of that track.

I guess this is another CD that will upset my bank card :D

Thanks Multi and thanks Mav.
