There are some nice karsilamas on many Turkish CD:s - some which can be easier to find are made by Traditional Crossroads like CD:s by Özel Türkbas (especially Alla Turca) and some Turkish collections by ARC-music by Ensemble Hüseyn Türkmenler (I don´t have these CD:s with me so I don´t remember which of them includes karsilama but they are also otherwise good Turkish music)
Of Turkish current singers especially Kibariye has some really good Roman music (which includes naturally karsilamas) - one of her best known karsilama song is Kara Gözlü Cingenem, which can be found on her CD Bir Duygudur. Also many American bands have nice although a bit old-fashioned
karsilamas like Sultans, Americanistan etc... some American dancers can probably give better recommendations of those.
