Kolektif Istanbul - Kismet

Kolektif Istanbul combines traditional medodies from Anatolia and Thrakia with Funk and Jazz music. A musical and cultural melting pot that is also a good description of their hometown, Istanbul. Kolektif Istanbul grew up from the meeting of musicians from villages playing at fetes and marriage ceremonies in the homeland, and musicians with improvisation backgrounds from different modern styles but all in Istanbul with the colors of Istanbul. A typical Kolektif Istanbul concert spans every genre, from Turkish belly dances, or, highly danceable folkloric numbers, to Western alternative rock.
