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,
mavrothis

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.
can you help?

its hard to believe but before i read this post i recieved and listened for the first time Takim's Cd  paranormal

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.
