Saadet Türköz + Jena Jang
Cafè Oto, E8 3DL , [Venue Details]Improvisational vocalist Saadet Türköz was born in Istanbul in 1961 to parents who were Kazakh refugees from her homeland, East Turkestan. She learned the rich oral and musical traditions of Central Asia from the elderly people of the Kazakh community in Istanbul.
Their tales of their homeland and long journeys to Turkey later became an imaginative source for her improvisational singing. Another source has been the Koran she listened to as a child. Later her repertoire has widened to include improvised music and modern interpretations of Turkish and Kazakh music. In her work she combines past and future, traditional and contemporary, dream and reality. Through the years she developed her own style of singing, which is both expressive, physical, archaic and calm. In addition to solo performances, Türköz performs in duos, trios and larger free-improvising formations. Throughout her career she has worked in various video-, theater-, film-, dance- and literary Productions.
At the age of 20, she moved to Zürich, where she experienced the new worlds of free jazz and improvisation. These encounters prompted her to take an experimental and unbiased approach to her musical roots. She has performed solo and with other musicians at home and abroad, releasing her first album in 1994. Her collaborations include work with Okkyung Lee, William Parker, Carl Stone and Bobby McFerrin.
