Omar Faruk Tekbilek & Steve Shehan - Alif - 2002

Born of a Turkish and Egyptian family and living in the United States, Omar Faruk Tekbilek, multi-instrumentalist par excellence, symbolizes that variety in the unity that constitutes the Mediterranean, the land in which the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe converge, and also symbolizes , Turkey, geographical and cultural crossroads of the Mediterranean. And the letter alif is the initial of Allah, Divine Realization of Love and love in all its forms (divine love, love of life and romantic love) is the common thread of the themes of this album Alif (released in 2002), which constitutes a milestone in Faruk's distinguished professional career for his emphasis on modern performances of traditional chants, his perfectly executed chants and the participation in it of international talents: the producer and multi-instrumentalist Steve Shehan, the Greek singer Glikería, the Israeli singer Zahava Ben, Persian singer Mamak Khadem, Bulgarian singer Galina Durmushliyska, Turkish singer Suzy and Spanish guitarist José Antonio Rodríguez Muñoz.

Brian Keane & Omar Faruk Tekbilek - Fire Dance - 1990

Omar Faruk Tekbilek, one of the main representatives of oriental music, has more than a dozen albums to his credit, and the album Fire Dance (1990) is one of the most applauded in his career. Second album of his international career, it was his second production with Brian Keane (famous composer and musician who ventures into the music of esoteric, Celtic and Tibetan veins) after his celebrated debut with Süleyman The Magnificent (1988), soundtrack of the movie of the same title.

This album can be interpreted as a natural progression from Süleyman, Faruk and Keane's experimentation with instruments from the Middle East and North Africa along with guitars, synthesizers and sophisticated orchestrations, expanding their attention from Turkey to include music from North Africa, Egypt and other Arab and Middle Eastern sources, without distancing himself from the styles that marked and shaped his career in its beginnings, such as Zingara or Sufi music.
