About Me:
"I arrived home". During my journeys I also got acquainted with the language and that many-sided music culture that Turkey has, mainly the Turkish folk music.
We established the Arasinda Orchestra in Budapest in 1996 which played Turkish folk music and I had been its singer and front woman for 10 years. We published two records called Aşkın şarabı (The Wine of Love) and Ne olursan ol (Whoever you are). While I was studying singing from the Iraqi composer and musician Moofed Alnasih playing the oud and violin, I did my best to travel to Turkey every year, to visit the country, to sing and learn.
In 2006 the doors to the Balkans also opened for me due to an interesting encounter. I am the singer and the founder of the Dilber Orchestra who plays South-Slavonic, mainly Bosnian, Serbian and Balkan Roma folk music beyond the Turkish folk music. There is a musical bridge between these counties and cultures which connects them closely to each other. The word of Persian origin called Dilber also refers to this; this word as a musical stream came from Persia / Dilber: bringing love/ through Turkey / Dilber: wonderful woman/ up to the Balkans /Dilber: lover, darling/ where it stopped.
Anatolia and Balkans have an extremely colourful and wonderful world of music with a lot of common characters but also exciting differences. Through music you can go on a special journey as if you were travelling with a caravan stopping sometimes at a pub, a khan; where the musical instruments and a song can be heard, ranging from the wonderful but hard melodies of East Turkey to the sweet music of the Black Sea region. Then the mysterious world of Bosnia starts glinting or a Roma song by the fire at night....
As the famous Turkish song says: "Uzun ince bir yoldayim, gidiyorum gündüz gece... "I am walking on a long and narrow road, I keep going day and night..."/ I am on the go.
The Dilber Orchestra was established in 2006 in Budapest. Its musicians have been playing and researching the folk music of Southern Slav nationalities living in Hungary and that of other Balkan nations to present it to audiences in Hungary and abroad. The image of the orchestra has been inspired by the singer who comes from the folk music world of Asia Minor, mostly the Turkish-speaking territories. 'Dilber' means a beauteous, wonderful woman, a lover - from Kurdistan through Turkey and the Bosporus as far as the river Drava. That imaginary woman character appears through the archaic folk music of various nationalities as adapted by the Dilber orchestra.
