Why us Turk music insipid, repetitive and uninteresting?
Note the lack of harmonic progression in the following Turk music. Sure there are some different melodic lines and there is virtuosity. But overall-- it's dull because there are no chords as we have in more advanced "Western" music most recently reinvented by Bach. The player of this stringed instrument-- a type of lute I think-- has frets that look like they can accomodate chords but he only hits one different chord at the very end. His name is Balil Erdogan, by the way, the same name as the son of President Erdogan of Turkey, Balil being on the front line of the revealing shoot down of the Russian jet over Syria a few days ago. It turns out that Turkey "is ISIS".
