Selim Sesler

Turkish Roman — Thrace

Style: Turkish Romani / Roman havası

Thracian Romani clarinet. Selim Sesler (1957–2014) became a reference for Roman oyun havası and the tavern-wedding book.

Selim Sesler, Thrace. 9/8 dance, uzun hava for listening. The professional Roman musician’s job in Turkish cities, on a clarinet. Seeman co-produced Roads to Keşan (Kalan Müzik, 1999) with him.

Nuran Sesler appears with Seeman in field photographs from Keşan (1999). Family context, not a second dynasty.
