İstanbul Camileri ve Müezzinleri CD

🕌 Mosques and Muezzins of Istanbul

CD Project – Adhan, Salâ and Spiritual Sounds

Mosques and Muezzins of Istanbul is a special archival project aiming to document the spiritual sound heritage of the city that has continued for centuries. Within this project, the adhan, salâ, and prayer recitations performed by muezzins serving in historic mosques across different districts of Istanbul were recorded through professional audio recordings.

The goal is not only to produce a music album, but also to preserve Istanbul’s acoustic, cultural, and spiritual memory for future generations.
