SOAS Concert Series - From Istambul to Smyrma - Çiğdem Aslan

SOAS Concert Series

Fri, 2011-02-04 16:19

Istanbul-born singer Çiğdem (say Cheedem) brings an authentic voice and exquisite styling to the poignant songs associated with the Greek and Turkish diasporas created after the forced population exchanges in the early 1920s. Born out of hardship yet full of resilience and with a devil-may-care attitude this repertoire shares the music, lyrics and sentiments of rebetiko and Western Turkish styles; a heritage belonging to both communities. Çiğdem Aslan is one of few young female singers today focussing on an authentic interpretation of the tradition with a programme in both Greek and Turkish.
