Yildirim, Levent - Doholla Tarang

Levent Yildirim is considered one of the modern pioneers of Middle Eastern percussion. The Egyptian doholla is a drum with a goblet-shaped terracotta frame, on which is stretched a membrane of goat-, donkey- or cowhide. The result is an infinite variety of sounds coming one after another in total spontaneity. Humility, fluidity and sincerity characterize the music of Levent, mostly improvised, which boldly synthesises the artist?s various influences from the Arab, Turkish, Indian and Western worlds.
