The group co-wrote songs with and accompanied Manço until he passed away in 1999, after which the band began working with Cem Karaca, another legendary Turkish rock singer and composer. The program will be comprised of Kurtalan Ekspres’ own repertoire as well as several of Manço’s greatest hits that made a huge impact in the Turkish music scene for much of the 70s through the 90s.

Ljova & the Contraband is chamber-jam music for the "remix generation" where as if by alchemy, Eastern-European and Gypsy melodies, Latin rhythms, Jazz-inspired improvisations, and deeply rooted Classical forms are given new meanings. Inspired by his collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma, Osvaldo Golijov, the Kronos Quartet, the rapper Jay-Z and others, Ljova's compositions dazzle with intricate textures, odd rhythms and lilting melodies, creating music that is both fresh and timeless.

Fanfare Samenakoa

Sun, May 11th @ 9pm
Imagine a hot summer night, a beach, a party, many people and among them some musician. The musicians, who had never played together before, started taking out their instruments and beginning to play together out of joy. Like magic people start dancing, laughing and amusing themselves while amazing music seeps through the beach. Fanfare Samenakoa was born on that summer night in 2003.
