Bedia Akartürk - Vay Gülüm Damda Bacaları

Review by Ophelia Livingston

Bedia Akartürk's album Vay Gülüm Damda Bacaları is a beautiful collection of traditional Turkish folk songs. The album features Akartürk's powerful and emotive vocals, accompanied by a range of traditional instruments such as the saz, the darbuka and the kanun.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Yüce Dağ Başında", a hauntingly beautiful ballad about a lover's longing for their beloved who has gone to war. Akartürk's voice is particularly moving on this track, conveying a deep sense of sadness and loss.

Another highlight is "Gözlerim Yaşıyor", a lively and upbeat song that showcases Akartürk's impressive vocal range. The song features a catchy melody and a driving rhythm that will get listeners tapping their feet.
