The name is definitely Turkish, and would be pronounced something like "Sir-Kan Cha-UH-ree" I think. At least that is what I am guessing, based on very simple knowledge of Turkish characters. I'm just not sure where the accent in the first name goes...

As far as the music and videos, he appears to be playing a low G clarinet in the first Youtube video I found, which is very common in Turkish music as well as some Greek styles. I don't know what the mini instrument with a clarinet mouthpiece is on the second one, but the "taksim" video is a really good video of improvised "klarnet" stuff. This style, in my understanding, is closer to Arabic uses of makams than to Balkan uses of makams. There are certain notes of each makam which are used at specific places in each taksim, and how the performer gets there and back is what is the deal.

Some of the others are actually tunes from the "classical" Turkish repertoire.

My Turkish isn't good enough to tell if he's Rom or "plain" Turkish...I have a friend looking into that for me!
