Tonight at the Musical Instrument Museum was the Mehmet Polat Trio…I think I’ll let his website do the talking this time:
The Mehmet Polat Trio is a spiritual yet adventurous meeting of three virtuosos of magical instruments: ney, kora, and ud. With roots in the Ottoman, ancient Anatolian, Balkan, and West African music traditions, the trio welcomes listeners with its musical authenticity. The original compositions are colored by daring improvisations and grooves, presented in an atmosphere of chamber music.
