As such these performances seem shrouded in an even more distant past, and feel quite intimately connected with forms of Greek amanes and rebetiko - having stemmed from the same Ottoman makam system, both with a subject-matter focussed on heartbreak, yearning, and pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1676213932\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/deathisnot.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-pain-of-separation-turkish-gazels-1926-1935\"\u003eThe Pain of Separation: Turkish Gazels, 1926-1935 Various Artists\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Death Is Not The End","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48364773441795,"sku":"DEATH127LP","price":4854.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/files\/a1797135488_10.jpg?v=1781156732","url":"https:\/\/meditations.jp\/en\/products\/v-a-the-pain-of-separation-turkish-gazels-1926-1935-lp","provider":"Meditations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
