"Kibar" is his first solo recording.

With his debut solo CD "KIBAR" composer/kanunist/violinist Hasan Isakkut (Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Simon Shaheen, Richie Havens) presents a stunning instrumental program of original compositions which evoke moods of the Middle East, jazz, new age, and classical music. He is joined by Ara Dinkjian (Night Ark) on oud and keyboard, as well as River Guerguerian (Ziggy Marley, Gipsy Kings) on percussion.


"The music of "Why" it sounds like a moan.
It is a subject Hasan Isakkut (salterio) on a loving separation.

He is very deep and spiritual.
Yes, because it is asking God what I can do?"
Omar Faruk Tekbilek's new album Tree of Patience - Interview in Spain

  • author: CD Baby

    Presented by composer, kanunist, and violinist, Hasan Isakkut, "Kibar" beautifully blends and juxstaposes colors, styles, voices and visions from all over the globe while traveling though genres as diverse as new age, classical and jazz. Assembling a varied and distinctive combination of ingredients such as rich, jazzy keyboards, downtempo beats that bring in a sense of the contemporary urban pop scene, and directing it with his compelling, emotional and penetrating solo performances, the album does a remarkable job of drawing the listener in and maintaining relaxed interest through striking yet entrancing characters and imagery. A noteworthy fusion of traditional and modern music practices, making the most of each perspective.
