Soundtrack of documentary film by David Grabias

Album Comments:
On a warm afternoon, a man sits in a cafe, strumming an instrument and telling stories: epic tales about love and war, history and morality, God and the earth. He is not only a master musician, but an engaging singer as well, keeping his audience, made up of people from the village, enraptured until well into the night. Ashiklar (Those Who Are In Love) is a recording by these minstrels, called ashiks, who have been a part of Turkish culture for hundreds of years.
