Presented by composer, kanunist, and violinist, Hasan Isakkut, "Kibar" beautifully blends and juxstaposes colors, styles, voices and visions from all over the globe while traveling though genres as diverse as new age, classical and jazz. Assembling a varied and distinctive combination of ingredients such as rich, jazzy keyboards, downtempo beats that bring in a sense of the contemporary urban pop scene, and directing it with his compelling, emotional and penetrating solo performances, the album does a remarkable job of drawing the listener in and maintaining relaxed interest through striking yet entrancing characters and imagery. A noteworthy fusion of traditional and modern music practices, making the most of each perspective.
