Shadow of memory

Mustafa Balci & 56' — 2002

My path crossed that of an old man who invited me to listen. A memory. This man, Ramazan Güngör, who has been marked, sometimes harshly, by the trials and tribulations of his times and old age, is a truly unique person. He is oneof the last bards of an epoch that is passing. Transmission began orally. Now a film is taking shape to broaden the sharing of this transmission. This wise old Turk has transmitted part of his knowledge to me. The knowledge is presented using a three-stringed lute, an üçtelli. We enter a world. That of Ramazan Güngör, the last master of the üçtelli.
