I have put together some of the greatest TURKISH CYPRIOT folk songs. More to come soon...

...the Grand Vizier told the Venetian ambassador, 'by conquering Cyprus we have cut off one of your arms, but by defeating our fleet you have only shaved our beard. You can not expect another arm to grow to replace the cut one, whereas the shaven beard always grows again and even more abundantly'.

I have recieved loads of emails asking were to find the music. It can be difficult to find CD's however I recommend buying it at North cyprus or Turkish supermarkets in North London.

There is aslo a great site with some sample audios: http://www.cypnet.co.uk/ncyprus/culture/music/index.html#fol­k
