Turkish Music and Voice Library has been established by Mehmet Gokturk
in March 1996 on the Internet. It started with only a national anthem and
couple of folk songs. Now, the total amount of data exceeds 1300 MBytes.
It is a nonprofit library, promoting widespread listening of Turkish
Music all around the World. The language of the site is and will be English
since the worldwide audience is targeted. Turkish Music and Voice Library contains
and will contain multicultural audio as well as Turkish.
Mehmet Gokturk provided the
majority of sound clips initially. Later, other contributors reaching 50% of the
total collection started to send sound files. I (Mehmet) who is taking care of this huge database
thank them for
many times for their kindly contribution. Without them Turkish Music and
Voice Library would not be as popular as it is now. Here are the people
