Mikaîl Aslan leads his ensemble in a programme of songs in Zazaki, Kurdish and Turkish, where the plucked tenbûr and bağlama resonate with classical guitar, duduk, saxophone and percussion. Featuring Cem Erdost İleri (tenbûr, voice), Erdi Aslan (duduk, sax, flute), Olcay Bozkurt (bass, voice) and Sitar Sertaç Şanlı (percussions, voice), the music blends Anatolian traditions and contemporary arrangements. The repertoire moves between intimate storytelling and sweeping, river-like passages, evoking memory, migration and cultural dialogue.
