Intense, poetic blues with a Kurdish soul
In her striking flights of fancy as much as in her intimate melodies, Meral Polat reveals the depths of the Kurdish soul, its vitality, its hopes, its pains and its exile. To capture her poetic flashes, the young artist has formed an all-purpose trio with Chris Doyle (guitar, keys) and Frank Rosaly (drums). The trio walks the rough slopes of the blues and the folk as well as the mountain tunes of Anatolia with equal ease. A royal road to guide Meral Polat’s moving songs in Kurdish, Turkish, Farsi and Greek.
