Istanbulive, a celebration of Turkish music and culture, will be staged in a first-time five-hour event at Central Park's Summer Stage on Saturday, June 27. Headlining the event are superstars Sertab Erener and Demir Demirkan—whom Ayhan and I have forged a wonderful friendship with over the past couple months.
Their first English-language album, "Painted On Water," was released today, a world music fusion take on classic Turkish folk songs, blending jazz, pop and Turkish influences. Also performing at the Summer Stage event is our dear friend Emre.
Tonight, a press conference and opening event was held at New York's ayza wine & chocolate bar in midtown. Sertab and Demir have just returned from a month in Istanbul, recording her upcoming Turkish album—and she shared with us the exciting news that the first single will be released at the end of the week, complete with five various versions.
