Ankara-born Aga B is one of the local hip-hop scene’s most original and eclectic MCs since he began producing music in 2000. The two home-released albums of his early career “Aga Neredesin?” and “AgaB’sikopat” can be described as urban legends whose reputation traveled by word of mouth. He continued the tradition of producing fully realized narratives with “Al, Bum!” and “Muaf” in the 2010s. His most recent album “Muamma” includes subtle social criticism on every track. Aga B performs with fiery stage energy. As part of the 32nd Akbank Jazz Festival, he will be joined by a number of musical guests, making it something of a mini festival within the festival. On September 30, you can watch Aga B perform as Su Sonia, Burakbey, and Barış Demirel add their own sonic touches to his signature flow.
