Mercan Dede Live DJ Set with Secret Tribe

Concert

Mercan Dede has recently focused on his career as a DJ with the new electronic songs and remixes he produces. Are we ready to dance together to his high-rhythm live DJ performance for electronic music lovers?

Mercan Dede believes that we can create a universal language capable of uniting ancient and modern, East and West by combining digital and electronic sounds with hand-made music and human voices. That’s a bold claim, yes, but Turkish-born, Montreal-based musician/producer/DJ Mercan Dede has the career and sound palette to back up this argument. When he performs with his band Secret Tribe, he hovers by his record players and electronic devices and glamorizes his rhythms and magical trans melodies with the instruments he spontaneously decides to include. The opening performance of the 33rd Akbank Jazz Festival, Mercan Dede’s Live DJ Set with Secret Tribe will be on stage at Müze Gazhane on September 23.
