This thread has lapsed a bit since 2012, when Simpleman posted his OP with its ambitious title. Shout out to him, misspoptart and Satre, stalwarts from the glory days of the World Music section. Where are you now that I have today's song for us ?
The Istanbul Oriental Ensemble play a lot of slithery gipsy music and are headed up by multi-instrumentalist Burhan Ocal:-
And what happens if you search for Burhan Ocal on MB? Just one post turns up, from a guy called chillosoph, who had a cool username, joined MB in 2007 but only ever made this one promo post and left:-

^ Chillosoph's thread is now in MB's dead archive section, from which, it seems, the conventional reply function has been disabled. That means this one-post thread by a one-post member can't be bumped; I had to copy and paste it. So I proudly bring to you something from the obscurest dark-dungeon corner of MB that I have ever visited - and out of curiosity will try to post some of the guy's recs later.
