MARCH PROGRAM

AT GITARCAFE-KADIKOY “1 + 1 + 1= 1”

At Gitarcafe, one of the most interesting concerts of the month is “1 + 1 + 1 = 1” from Erkan Ogur, Turgut Alp Bekoglu and Alp Ersönmez. Ömer Özgeç is coming with his ‘Songs for Selected Poems’, and his daughter Günes Özgeç will accompany him with her viola. In another concert, Neset Ruacan and Meriç Demirkol will paint Gitarcafe jazz-blue. Şehrengiz is ‘a journey through the towns inside us’ with ney, tanbur, baglama and kemanche from Murat Salim Tokaç, Cenk Güray and Emre Erdal. In another special concert, Emin Igüs will sing Anatolian songs with his guest Eylem Pelit (bass). Guitarist Murat Usanmaz has prepared a repertory for Gitarcafe: From Bach to Paco, from Classical to Flamenco. On March 8, we will be with Babil, a group playing ‘music from all over the world’. French violinist E. Hussein During will be the guest of Gitarcafe with Trio Tzané from Paris, singing polifonic Bulgarian, Macedonian, Anatolian songs. If you know or would like to learn about Azerbaijani mugam tradition, proclaimed by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2003, don’t miss Azertürk Mugam Trio. Musicians from Azerbaidjan will stop to play in Gitarcafe, on their way to Izmir festival. Ilknur Yakupoglu will sing authentic songs from the Blacksea region, with her kemenche. The other ‘Blacksea concert’ of the month is from the group Helesa. Before the concert, there is a documentary about the nut collectors directed by Metin Avdaç: ‘Çotanak Yolunda’. The last guest in the March program is a new and very succesful women group: Piazzolla Project..

At Gitarcafe, you should keep in mind that during the concerts you don’t smoke; there is strong possibility to listen some special guests out of the program. And please don’t forget to make reservation.
