Even before the Ottoman Sultan Bayezik II invited the Jews who were forced out of Spain in 1492 to settle in what is modern Turkey, Jews had long dwelled there. As in Moorish Spain where Jews and Muslims shared culture including music, Jews found a kindred spirit with Sufis in Turkey, and their mystical poetic hymns were a model for Jewish maftirim, sung before sabbath and other services. This album from Turkey is in the form of a 63-page book (like Putumayo and Rough Guide issues) written in Turkish and English (more text is in Turkish), with photographs. A brief history of Jews in Turkey is presented along with information on the composers and poets of hymns from the Renaissance to more contemporary times. Track listings include Turkish instrumentation, maqam mode, and particular rite, as Pesach, Shabbat, and Chanukah.
