Burhan Öçal & The Trakya All Stars - Trakya Dance Party (2006)

Burhan Öçal es uno de esos músicos únicos y excelentes que nos ofrece ese país riquísimo en interculturalidad que es Turquía. Percusionista, compositor y erudito en música turca y otomana, Öçal se atreve con todo, logrando fundir estilos hasta crear uno propio, fusionar culturas hasta llegar a ese punto en el que todos los colores, sexos y religiones son un todo completo y pleno Trakya Dance Party (2006), junto con sus amigos rumanos The Trakya All Stars y bajo la producción del músico y productor tunecino francés Smadj, "invites listeners curious about Roman cultura into a vibrant world of what life is like in the Thrace region of Turkey through the stories related in the text of the songs. “Karabiber” is the tale of a bride-to-be, while in “Kayınço” a man reproaches his perennially intoxicated brother-in-law. “Zigoş” features a Turkish man named Abidin an a Greek man named Gurgule who engage in verbal volley while fighting over the object of their mutual affection, a Turkish girl. The son “Opaz” illustrates the musical battles, sparring, and jamming that are characteristic of special occasions such as Roman weddings, while “Sülo” offers scenes from Roman daily life. Colourful, energetic, upbeat, fun, and full of surprises…" (extraido del CD).
