With the sublime accompaniment of guitar, keys and drums, Meral Polat Trio takes its audience on a meandering journey through contemporary Anatolian folk- and mountain songs and the many faces of the blues. Earthy, desolate and soul-cutting.
Driven by Meral’s own words and the poetic legacy of her father, Ali Ihsan Polat, the trio undertakes a cathartic quest. Ez Kî Me. (Who am I?) tells old universal stories, giving them new meaning and a modern context.
