I created this site in order to help out friends of mine who are looking to learn Middle Eastern songs and instruments. I fell in love with this music a couple years ago, and I want to share my knowledge with like-minded-people. People who want to listen and learn.
You can kind of find this stuff all over the net... but it's all over the place. I wanted to have something that was searchable and also had the ability to retain a library of what you've picked up.
Hey! What's up with the charging $ for things, why not make it frrrreeeeeeee?
Well.. it costs money to host files, mp3s, videos clips etc. and like... I need to eat and stuff.
I'm hoping the amount of time and energy this website saves you is worth a buck or two...
Umm... what the heck does Dorku mean?
I'm tellin' ya... when coming up with a name for this thing I tried every .com there was. Anything that is an actual word in the english language is taken, unless you get something ridiculously long like ThisIsAWebsiteForDoingBlah.com or something... So I tried Middle Eastern terms for music stuff.
And all of those were taken too. While doing all of this, I was listening to Turku... so I checked if Dorku.com was available, and it was. It's a completely made up word that doesn't mean anything... which is why it probably wasn't taken.. either that or it's a terrible name to use :)
