Purchased the CD One Truth, by Omar Faruk Tekbilek today. It is absolutely gorgeous. I was introduced to this Turkish performer many years ago by my sister when she gave me his album entitled Whirling. He blends middle eastern sounds and Sufism (Islamic Mysticism), and as he states, his performances are like prayers. As I am drawn to the mystics of Catholocism (Carmelites), I sense the same search in Mr. Tekbilek's music.
