Meral Polat Trio interprets the bittersweet pain and vitality of the 21st century
diaspora with raw blues and Kurdish soul.
With the sublime accompaniment of guitar, keys and drums, Meral Polat Trio
takes its audience on a meandering journey through contemporary
Anatolian folk- and mountain songs and the many faces of the blues.
Earthy, desolate and soul-cutting. Driven by Meral’s own words and the poetic legacy
of her father, Ali Ihsan Polat, the trio undertakes a cathartic quest.
Ezî-k-me (Who am I?) tells old universal stories, giving them new meaning and a
modern context.

“En Meral Polat? Die ademt in alles de aantrekkingskracht van ‘living on the edge’. Zwoel, sensueel, hartstochtelijk, gevaarlijk, ongrijpbaar. Of ze nu zingt of acteert, zij is de vleesgeworden hartenklop onder dit fabrieksblauwe oppervalk.”
– De Volkskrant
“De rijke stem van Meral Polat is nu eens sterk en bereid alles van vastberadenheid omver te blazen”
– Theaterkrant
“De combinatie van haar ontwapenende podiumaanwezigheid en de ongelofelijke kracht van haar stem is overweldigend.”
– De Volkskrant
