Derya Yildrim & Graham Mushnik - Hey Dostum, Çak! - CD

Music for children and people!

Derya Yildirim is so many things: a gifted singer, baglama virtuoso, underground star, ambassador of Turkey's rich musical heritage, innovator and preserver of this musical tradition, and simply a damn good performer. She's got groove, she's as great with the Anadolu soul band Grup Simsek as she is with the chamber music orchestra Ensemble Resonanz. She makes the hall go wild, whether it's the Elbphilharmonie or a small club. Together with French keyboardist and producer Graham Mushnik, she has made a children's album, Hey Dostum, Çak! translated as "Give me five!" What a great idea! Derya Yildirim from Hamburg knows many of the songs from her childhood: they are lullabies, folk songs that her father played on the baglama, or that she sang in Turkish lessons, that were on her grandparents' cassettes, or that were taught to her by the baglama teacher who taught her and other Turkish-speaking kids at the Stadtteilladen in Hamburg-Veddel.
