[ARPIANARCISISTA]

HEY THERE, i didnt have any idea of the existence of this great film. I am a mexican who visited Anatolia like 10 years ago and it was an amazing place. What a pity we cannot find the dvd over here, but i bet it's wonderful, glorious, and it just made a mix of emotions inside me.

[VLbadboyVL07]

the song that starts at 1:57 is : Ahmet Yurt Dede-Eşrefoğlu Al Haberi

You can thank me later ;)

@Super1manwolfpack Turkic presence in Anatolia is way longer than you think.It's not nationalist or populist claims but scientifical and historical truth.

[lefterhsk1]

1:57 - 2:04 nice reverb :D (effect to the voice) i think we (anatolians and constantinople/istanbul) have the best music !

[MaleBellySerkan]

[meridalemusicmachine]

Nezih, brilliant work. When will it be released with English subtitles?

[3choBlast3r]

@EkBalam707 I think its really cool an American Mexican can appreciate music from a culture so far away .. 

[OxfordDays]

WOW! Is this going to show at IFC? Anywhere where I can get see this in NYC?

Wonderful work!

[EkBalam707]

The Alevi people from Anatolia / Anadolu are mainly Turks, Turkic, Turkmen from Central Asia, but also Arabs and Kurds. Turkey is an Islamic nation. Salaam.

These ancient music and songs are awesome!
