You know something like Tunak Tunak Tun where you got videos like this

For me, it would be Karadeniz Horon Kemençe

    Anime OP dont usually get me- I kind of see them as their own genre. However Nostalgic Rainfall by Chic0 with Honeyworks is something I listen to every little while.

    Also for the young me, growing up in an Modern Orthodox enclave, but completely immersed in NuMetal, Synergia’s Khum Uli August had my number. My friend brought back three whole albums from his birthright trip. I still listen to them when I work out. I miss that guy sometimes, too.

    Turkish is my first language and a lot of English songs were exactly that. This feels interesting.

    Btw “kemençe” is also the instrument’s name if you want to find similar stuff.

    Some of my favorites. https://youtu.be/hUdWILxC8sY
    https://youtu.be/WDtqZE8hUOs

    And “Horon” is also the traditional dance associated with kemençe.

      That’s really interesting. Thanks for the links!

      I first heard the Turkish song I mentioned when I one day found myself in a concert on a trip to turkey. We weren’t allowed to take pictures or video but I recorded the audio and the music was so bumping so I audio searched the song.

    “Was hast du Gedacht” by GZUZ. I know there’s a ton of german hip hop but there needs to be more and bigger.
