About the Instrument:
The Karadeniz Kemençesi is a classical three-stringed bowed box fiddle unique to the Eastern Black Sea region of Türkiye. Known for its distinct, sharp sound and short fingerboard movements, it requires incredible agility to play. It traditionally accompanies the Horon—a high-energy dance characterized by rapid shoulder movements and quick footwork that mimics the energetic movements of anchovies (hamsi) jumping in the Black Sea waters.
