A virtuoso on several Middle Eastern instruments and a masterful performer on dozens more,
Omar Faruk Tekbilek is a man of vast experience. He started performing at the age of 12
in his native Turkey studying under some of the greatest Turkish musicians. During the 60's he
established himself as one of the world's foremost performers of Middle Eastern music. His
appearances with jazz musicians Don Cherry and Karl Berger, and his work on numerous film and
TV scores attest to his leadership status among contemporary Middle Eastern musicians.
His recordings include the soundtrack for Suleyman The Magnificentfor PBS Television,
Firedance with jazz guitarist Briane Keane, and Whirling on the Celestial
Harmonies label.
