Elliott Sharp, guitar; Saadet Türköz, voice

Saadet Türköz is a singer, composer and performance artist. Born in Istanbul and based in Switzerland, her first recordings were influenced by the folk music of her homeland, East Turkestan. Later her repertoire has widened to include improvised music and modern interpretations of Turkish and Kazakh music. In her work she combines past and future, traditional and contemporary, dream and reality. Through the years she developed her own style of singing, which is both expressive and physical, archaic and calm.
