Foyer Matinee: Afro Anatolian Tales

“An unforgettable introduction to the traditional music of Silk Road regions. Sjahin During and his ensemble deliver an adventurous musical dialogue with heavenly beautiful solos and an almost painfully beautiful experience” - Parool

Contemplation between east and west

Afro Anatolian Tales is the best of ancient Eastern traditions and modern Western music - a deep dive into the rhythms and melodies of Anatolia, Iran and India. This Sunday morning they present their third album 'Tarab Dance', with the trio joined by the exceptional Turkish singer and violinist Burak Savaş.

Afro Anatolian Tales transcends traditional genre boundaries, weaving East and West into a vibrant, ever-evolving and cinematic tapestry. It is as if the legendary Silk Road comes alive before your eyes.
