Ceylan Ertem vocals, Behsat Üvez vocals/electronics/saz/percussion, Steven Kamperman saxophone/samples, Jeff Sopacua guitar, Ernst Reijseger cello, Sebastian Demydczuk percussion/samples
The Turkish-Dutch band Baraná surprises time and again with crossovers of Turkish music and diverse genres from all over the world. A meeting with hip young singer Ceylan Ertem offers new challenges for the ensemble: how to create singular pop music that rises beyond the saccharine-flavored hits on Turkish radio? Ceylan will appear centre stage in the project Xenopolis, based on beats and samples by percussionist Sebastian Demydczuk and spiced up by the improvisations of cello player Ernst Reijseger.
