Meral Polat has many talents, as she has proven time and again in the theatre, at the movies, and on television. As a singer she forms a special alliance with two equally versatile musicians, Chris Doyle on piano, keybards and guitar, and Frank Rosaly on drums and percussion. Together, they travel from east to west and back again.
With original lyrics and poetry from the legacy of Meral’s father, Ali Ihsan Polat, they go on a transformative quest. They tell forgotten stories with new sounds, searching for a connection to the road back home. From Anatolian folk to Kurdish folk, and ‘protest-mountain-blues’. Earthly, raw, and close to the source.
