The world music label presents a variety of popular Turkish songs set to Western dance grooves; the result is rather in the vein of the late Israeli singer Ofra Haza's similar dance experiments. Emrah's insistent, acoustic "Kusursuszun," simultaneously foreign-sounding yet familiar, is a particular highlight, while Mustafa Sandal's "Kalmadi" has subtle Latin overtones.

Turkish Groove review by a grateful Cuban I recently made a trip down to TN from KY. I found an offbeat store which carries only Putumayo CDs. The Turkish Groove music was playing overhead and I was immediately captivated by the engrossing beats. I purchased the CD and cannot stop listening to it. I do not understand one word of what is being sung, but am nonetheless enthralled by the music. This is one CD which is a MUST HAVE. Enjoy!

All the tracks are great and makes you want to dance and I listen to generally not just for belly dancing.

The band’s intense performance style and energetic stage presence has already landed them opening spots for such national acts as Papa Roach, Saliva, Dead Poetic, Project 86, Blindside, Flyleaf, 36 Crazyfists and more.
