We are happy to embrace you with our rich new edition. Undoubtedly, one of the most negatively-affected elements of the coronavirus precautions is the musical events. Maybe the concerts had to be cancelled but artists continued to reach us thanks to the digital platforms. We enhanced our souls with the power of music. We are appreciated for all of these artists.

You are going to notice that, in this edition apart from Turkey there are also precious music producers from Iran, Greece, Netherlands and Canada. Introducing you various musical colours from different regions of the world and witnessing that our periodical is one of the worldwide ones in its field is an additonal satisfaction.

Music is an energy source for a nation. We fervently emphasise the necessity of supporting these labourers who produce music and assisting them with solid steps.

Having the belief that we have overtaken the hard times, we wish all of you fresh and healthy summers with plenty of music.

Makam Music Magazine Description:

Dear Readers,

Maybe, the most beautiful piece of art is music. It is the melodic life that begins inside a mother’s womb, an integral part of human nature. Music is the most beautiful common ground that brings people together.

The geography we live in has hosted a deep-rooted music history. At the same time, the states and the heads of these states also made a considerable amount of contribution to music. Especially during the periods of the Ottoman Empire and the Republic, the interest of the statesmen in music and some of them being seriously engaged in music, have ensured that this branch of art is supported and brought into the present with a unique richness. Thus, numerous musicians have created invaluable works of art. It is our duty of loyalty to our history to preserve these works of art, tell their value and transfer them to future generations.

On each page you will going to read, we have strived to establish a bridge between the fascinating mystery of the musical history and the colors of our day built on this deep-rooted history. Our magazine is prepared in both Turkish and English in order to contribute to its goal of telling the universal characteristic of the Turkish music to the whole world.

This is the magazine of all who set their hearts on music.

Very truly yours.
