Tarhana "nomads in music"

About Me


New CD "Mundus" available on: www.drummerszone.com
Tarhana’ is the name of an old, traditional Anatolian soup, some say it used to be the Sultan’s favorite.
It is made by villagers throughout Bosnia, Macedonia, Anatolia... all the way to Turkmenistan. As in any traditional recipe that travels through time and space some ingredients of Tarhana have changed along the way. In this process, cooks from Eastern Europe to Central Asia added their own Oriental flavors and soon Tarhana was served with urban tastes, unique for each region.
Tarhana is a tribe of musicians that is based in Amsterdam and founded by Sjahin During. They choose to blend the traditional Balkan and Oriental Flavours with Afro-Anatolian grooves. Spicing up Ottoman sound-scapes, digital Sufi grooves, Gypsy melodies, North African rhythms and sounds from these ancient cultures.
The collaboration offers a rendition of ancient traditions, interlacing the polyrhythms of Eastern music, with its motifs, sounds and samples. Anatolian melodies are reinterpreted and redesigned for the present generations of dancers and listeners.
Tarhana, using ancient Oriental herbs to discover unique urban tastes, celebrates the rich Anatolian inheritance to create new sounds and rhythmical innovations. All prepared to be served for current dancefloors.
