Seyyah
WHO IS SEYYAH?
Based in Istanbul, musicians from different countries cultivate the repertoire and inspirations of their musical journey. Founded in Strasbourg, France in 2017 by singer Ceren Kaçar, multi- instrumentalist Ozan Demir and violinist Gabriel Meidinger, Seyyah has lived through numerous musicians and countries already. Seyyah's music is a reflection of these journeys and encounters through the prism of traditional music from Asia Minor, the Balkans and beyond.
Members of Seyyah are highly active in Istanbul's folk scene; most notably so as part of the 'Kadıköy Sessions', a collective which promotes traditional and folk music through events and festivals.
