Review by Draco The Ocean Man

Seferberlik Türküleri by Ruhi Su is a timeless treasure of Turkish music. The album features patriotic songs that were popular during the Turkish War of Independence in the early 1920s. Ruhi Su, a legendary Turkish folk singer and composer, delivers each song with passion and emotion, capturing the spirit of the era.

The album opens with the stirring anthem "İstiklal Marşı," which was adopted as Turkey's national anthem in 1921. The other tracks include traditional folk songs such as "Köroğlu," "Kara Toprak," and "Meydan Larus." The lyrics of these songs depict the struggles and sacrifices of the Turkish people during the war for independence.

Ruhi Su's powerful voice, accompanied by traditional Turkish instruments such as the saz and the bağlama, creates a haunting and evocative sound that transports the listener back in time. The album is a testament to the enduring power of folk music, and its ability to tell the stories of a nation's history and culture.
