Sema

Sema's childhood in Ankara was attended by a thousand-year-old songs, dance and wedding songs of the fishermen and farmers to brooding epics of war and displacement. In the ritual chant of the Sufis are found next to items of Islam also shamanistic, Jewish and Christian tracks. The dervishes who danced to this music were called "Semanzen. With few exceptions they were men who recited this music. The double fracture - as a woman and as an artist - which is confronted with the expectations of a traditionally male-dominated society met Sema, by looking outside their culture to creative impulses. This CD is the live recording of a concert at the International Music Festival in Istanbul Rahmi Koc Museum in 2003.
