DESCRIPTION:
Omar is an unbeatable drummer and master of oriental wind
instruments.
Born to an Egyptian-Turkish couple in 1951, he expanded
his musical horizons between the banks of the Nile river
and the Bosphorus. He began his musical career at an early
age in Istanbul, where he learned the art of the ney (flute)
and other traditional instruments like the zorna and the
mijwiz, from Ismet Siral and Burban Tonqe Orphan Genbay.
He started his international tour in Europe and continued
to New York, where he settled in 1976. Faruk's first international
exposure was on Brian Keane's 1988 album Süleyman the
Magnificent (Celestial Harmonies). Faruk's music has now
taken him to far-flung corners of the globe and further
collaborations. He has played with the late jazz trumpeter
Don Cherry, and has recorded with the Palestinian lute
and violin virtuoso Simon Shaheen, with Australian percussionist
and composer Michael Askill, and with Armenian percussionist
Arto Tuncboyaciyan.
"Sheshkin" belongs to the Turkish Gypsy repertoire, but
is also well known in various countries of the Middle
East by the name "Ya 'Ain Mulayitain".
