The first time I encountered this musician (the one sitting and playing baglama) was through a song of Bulent Ortacgil, Pencere Onu Cicegi. He was performing it in a tribute album to Ortacgil.

This song Selanik Turkusu (selanik=thessaloniki - so hard to spell the word) reminds me of the melodies I've heard at the synagogue back when I was growing up.
