Melike Şahin

Melike Sahin, one of Turkey’s most high-profile musicians, is coming to de Doelen on 12 February for the latest edition of the Turkey Now! Festival. She performed in over forty countries with her band BaBa ZuLa, and went on to generate millions of streams when she went solo in 2017, putting out hits like Deli Kan, Seymek Sucsa and Tutusmus Beraber. She’s no stranger to the big screen either: Sahin composed the soundtrack for the movie Djam (directed by Tony Gatlif), amongst others. Expect to hear a surprising mix of electro-pop and disco, full of nostalgic sounds from the seventies to the nineties.
