About

A virtuoso ud (a lute found throughout the Middle East) player, Munir Nurettin Beken strums and plucks his way along traditional Turkish scales, building the equivalent of an Arabic blues. An accredited ethnomusicologist, he has been director of the Center for Turkish Music in Baltimore and artist-in-residence at the University of Washington, and currently teaches ethnomusicology at Siena College in New York state.
