Mercan Dede

ISTANBUL QUARTET

Following the spellbinding success of Mercan Dede and Secret Tribe, Mercan Dede returns, once again presenting his beautiful blend of electronica and traditional music.

Mercan Dede believes in a universal language. When digital, electronic sounds are combined with hand-made, human ones, a language is created that is capable of uniting old and young, ancient and modern and east and west.

Together with his trio of young Traditional Turkish musicians, Istanbul Quartet captures the essence of Istanbul; the city of magic and dreams.

Accompanied by a spectacular whirling dervish dancer, these incredible musicians’ explosive energy will make your soul soar.
