NİLİPEK. + TURKISH KEBAP + CEM YILDIZ

Anatolian voices blending folk, indie and electro

Three artists with roots in the Turkish musical tradition demonstrate just how versatile and contemporary it sounds today. The Berlin-based singer-songwriter Nilipek combines her understated indie-folk with personal stories, whilst the Brussels-based band Turkish Kebap fuses Anatolian folk, psychedelic rock and 1970s influences with a fresh, urban energy.

Closing the line-up, Cem Yildiz presents his own blend of Anatolian folk and electronic grooves. With live improvisation, hypnotic rhythms and an open-minded approach to tradition and innovation, he turns every concert into a unique experience. A triple bill that bridges the gap between heritage, experimentation and the sound of today.

Nilipek. is a Berlin-based Turkish singer-songwriter whose distinctive DIY sound has made her a key figure in Türkiye’s alternative music scene. Her four albums trace a journey from intimate indie folk to richer, more layered soundscapes. In 2026, she released her first English-language single, Safe Coast.

Turkish Kebap is a Brussels-based band led by vocalist Dilan Özsu. Blending Anatolian folk, 1970s psychedelia and contemporary influences, the group creates a vibrant sound where tradition and innovation meet.
