Aşina – Erkan Oğur & İsmail Hakkı Demircioğlu

Erkan Oğur is one of the most influential figures in Anatolian music. Through his playing of the kopuz, he blends traditional soundscapes with an improvisational openness. In a duet with singer İsmail Hakkı Demircioğlu—a leading voice in Alevi music, among other genres—he interprets songs and poems from the Anatolian folk and Sufi traditions. Voice and instrument engage in a calm, focused dialogue that brings the musical heritage of Anatolia into the present. About our new series Unexpectedly familiar – “aşina” is a word of Persian origin that describes something familiar to us, even if we do not fully understand it: a sense of closeness that needs no explanation. The concert series of the same name stands for a new way of listening that recognizes the familiar in the supposedly foreign and brings it closer to us. Aşina connects not through culture, but through shared sensibilities. Internationally renowned musicians come to Berlin for the series, some of them after a long absence, specifically for these concerts. Time-honoured traditions, artists from the urban scene, and musical forms of expression rarely heard in concert halls come together on stage, giving voice to the music of our time. At the same time, the audience brings together worlds that often merely coexist in everyday life.
