[Zarin]

My name is Emil Zarin.

Tour Guide, Musician and hobby Balloonist.

Greeting from Kayseri in Turkey. Land of splendour, history and so forth and so on.

I play Kabak Kemane. (Also known as Iklig, Rabab, Hegit, Rubaba , Keman, Gicak, Giccek or Gijek)

In my country, it is a sin to sit cross legged. This is why I play it in a sitting chair.

I want very vast riches.

Perhaps the English from me is not exact to you.

But the tongue of the lark speaks from his heart always

Hey Emil! Welcome to Songstuff.

In my country, it is a sin to sit cross legged.

Really...? Perhaps you could explain that?

I play Kabak Kemane. (Also known as Iklig, Rabab, Hegit, Rubaba , Keman, Gicak, Giccek or Gijek)

Forgive my ignorance! Is this a style of music? Or an instrument?

I hope you like it here. And I hope you attain your dreams of vast riches... It never quite worked out for me.

Hi Zarin

Welcome to Songstuff!

Do you write your own material too, or focus on traditional music?

Guessing, but when you sit cross leggged you show the soles of your feet, which in some countries is disrespectful.

Cheers

Cross legs are very bad. It is disrespectful to God. It is believed also that it is an invocation to pixies & genies who will try to inhabit such legs. Once legs are vacated, they will become paralysed.

Here is Kabak Kemane

Zarin still learns the Kabak Kemane, playing at early morning before prayers in the Kayseri municipal bus depot before driving begins.

Recollecting the good music is not yet occurring yet. But even so, I do not grow impatient and abuse Kabak Kemane or hurt animals at random.

Hey Zarin

I've heard those instruments (or at least similar), but couldn't have told you the name. Do you play other instruments as well?

Cheers
