Sirinnar Radio

Has anyone heard of 'Sirinnar Radio'?

Here is a link, in case you would like to view the webpage, and listen to the radio.

This is a radio station, broadcasts from the beautiful city of Gaziantep, which is located south-east of Turkey.  

"What kind of music is this?"

Folk, to be specific, it is Anatolian Folk Music.  

Anatolian (Turkish) folk music, 

(Turk Halk muzigi) combines the very different and distinct cultures/civilizations that have lived in Anatolia over the past many, many centuries.  

This music was the most popular music genre of the mighty Ottoman Empire.  

After the foundation of Turkish Republic in 1923, the founder of the Republic, Mr Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, commissioned a wide-scale classification program and archived all of the samples of Anatolian folk music in the territories, this lasted until 1953. 

There was a collection of more then 10,000 folk songs from a wide body of languages, cultures and civilizations. 

Sirrannar Radio, offers a 'rich' variety of 'peaceful' music, to the listeners.  

I whole-heartedly recommend this station to people who are looking for something different. 

Thank you for reading.
