Ez Kî Me
Meral Polat Trio
Debut album & tour
Meral Polat Trio interprets the bittersweet pain and vitality of the 21st century diaspora with raw blues and Kurdish soul. With the sublime accompaniment of guitar, keys and drums, Meral Polat Trio takes its audience on a meandering journey through contemporary Anatolian folk- and mountain songs and the many faces of the blues. Earthy, desolate and soul-cutting. Driven by Meral's own words and the poetic legacy of her father, Ali Ihsan Polat, the trio undertakes a cathartic quest. Ez Kî Me. (Who am I?) tells old universal stories, giving them new meaning and a modern context.
' ...swaying, thundering, sometimes gently cradling and pounding grooves, turn into a surprising
framework of mostly traditionally tinged Kurdish and Turkish melodies full of melismatic tonal
inflections and embellishments...' (Ton Maas, MixedWorldMusic, July 2022)
