Longa music cultivated in the Tulip era of Ottomans, in that times, Ottomans were enjoying the wealthiest time of their reign, they suddenly realized they do not need to fight anymore. They stopped declaring wars and focused on things like creating the best tulip garden, composing the most beautiful music, hosting the best party, having the best looking house near Bosporus etc. Even the sultans themselves had many songs composed themselves.
A longa (Arabic: لونجا) is a genre in Turkish music that was adapted from the Romanian music, also influenced by the Byzantine music, with many elements of syrtos dance in the late 19th century. It was later adopted in Arabic music and is often performed at the end of a muwashshah.
It generally uses an iqa' equivalent to 2/4, with several sections called khanat (singular khana), each followed by a taslim (refrain). The last khana is generally in 3/4.
I used to listen to this when I lived in the Middle East. It always put me in a good mood. Such beautiful sounds. Her name is Vanessa Nassar and she is Lebanese.
Raw beautiful eroticism. Not only is the violinist gorgeous, but the talent of the video director is soul catching. I got goose bumps when I watched this. Keep up the good work. Want to see more of this calibre presented to those of us who love music. I am an American woman and youtubed "Arabic Violin"this morning at the library and up you popped. I'm half Swedish and half English with no middle eastern heritage. I have been painting women coming out of mountains lately and there you were.
@thecoolestfreak ...I truly think you've got to hear this one too: "Jihad Akl - Shiraz / a violin affair", and I can tell that from now on you're gonna hear Modern Arabic Music only :D
You liked it because it is not arabic:) It is ottoman-turkish. Ottoman-turkish music is a mixture of western and eastern music. But it's tecnically much more different from others and that makes it unique. I suggest you listen other longas and sirtos. You can find different arrangements and i am sure u will like them. peace!
OH MY GODDESS VANESSA, YOU ROCK!!!! VERY POWERFUL, VERY SPIRITUAL, VERY UNIQUE, & EVEN MAGICAL!!!! YOU ROCK MY SOUL VANESSA!!!! P.S. Hopefully, one day we can Record some Music together,.... :-) Wes
@mirpur1978 Vanessa Nassar I believe. I first heard this song when I was in Iraq and fell in love with it so I went it did research to find a video as soon as I did. To this day I still love that song.
I agree that it's a spectacular perforamce. SHe had me at just the first stroke on the strings! I played many different Longas before, but this is a great one. Please, we want more, Vanessa!
determined28 , seems you play violon , i would like to know from your experience what do you think about vanessa playing technically , i don't play violon , but i enjoyed it sooo much
Hey Caro2486! Well, I don't play violin, but I play piano, keyboard, accordion, mandoline, lute, and recently started spanish guitar lessons. I sill adore violin though! Concerning Vanessa, she's undoubtedly special whether she's 15 or older. She's also a great performer and not only a talented violinist! The camera loves her face too! I believe she's got a great future ahead of her. But do you play any musical instruments, caro?
determined28 , first thank you , for the informations, as i understood you play nearly everything ,, i mean i'm stunned.
i don't play any instrument , i'm more into sport ... but my younger sis plays piano , she started at 5 or 6 yo
i love watching someone playing music live , they look soooooo calm , but their fingers are so quick .. just like if the instrument is speaking for them
You are wrong, write Turkish Language Wiki on google and you will find more about it. Its affected from Arabic and was writen with arabic letters in many years...Nice Music by the way...
yea...turkish was written in arabic letters for centuries..then mustafa kamel attaturk change it 2 english or something like it...i hope turkish would return 2 arabic letters again ^^
Well you have right here, but i wanted to explain it clearly that Turkish is not taken from Arabic, but it is AFFECTED because turkish nation is a islamic nation like other islamic nations. Mustafa Kemal used the latin letters to write turkish, and like other languages there are always modifications through the history...
Even Malay was written in Arabic, but during the British and Dutch colonisation process, the Roman Alphabets overwhelm the use of Arabic script in writing Malay. However, in Malaysia, the Arabic script is still preserved and written alongside Malay written in Roman alphabets. I wonder if the Turkish government could do the same for that?

This is very Beutiful Ritmik Song, but this Song is not Arabic, This is is Turkische Song, 100% Turkische Orientalish Song, i know this Song, Perfekte Combination
Thank you so Much for writing the Bio about VAnessa Dear Memobk363 ________ always watch Melody Channels ... we always looking Forward your Comments ..
Absolutely stunning both the woman and her music! I'd sure love to see/hear more of this beautiful and intelligent gal. The phrase "Longa V" might allude to the latin "vita longa" which also means "the long life". Possibly a variation on the phrase "vita brevis, ars longa" ... meaning something along the lines of "life is short, but art lasts forever".
no extra ordinary about her

But the "funny" part, is that here in Lebanon there are 2 violin players named Vanessa Nassar, yes 2 ...........
