Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This Turkish supergroup held the No 1 spot for three months in their homeland with this mournfully expressive instrumental album. Husnu Seniendirici's fluid and creamy clarinet dances with and around Ismail Tuncbilek's clear-toned baglama (a form of small lute) and Aytac Dogan's dryer, more guitar-like kunun. Whereas there's some showcasing of virtuoso technique, mostly these three master musicians simply play to serve their material, settling down to create a rich, ornate sound which relies as much on the silences between the notes as the aching notes themselves.
