Mastika (9/8, Greek - Turkish) - BALKAN FOLK GUITAR
#balkanmusic #guitar #oddtimesignature #sevdah A traditional folk tune of Greek / Turkish origin. This harmonization is not traditional. Unlike in common karsilama (2223), here the rhythm is syncopated. It can be counted as 9/8 x 2 = 18/8 = 7/8 (223) + 11/8 (22322). Not an easy one, but feels great to fingerpick it on a guitar.
