Ashik „The Lovers“ are the traditional wandering minstrels of Anatolia.
To the Baglama (a turkish string instrument) they sing of the beauty of Life and of Love.
They are seen as the messengers of wisdom and tolerance.
Derya, the modern Ashik, carries this tradition into our own times.
His songs are based on poems of his father Bahtiyar.
Travelling, with his Baðlama in his luggage, Derya meets musicians of other cultures.
Derya & SanaBana-Band connect East to West, the baglama with the guitar,
the Balkan wind ensemble with hot cuban and latin american rhythms.
Music, born out of this unique mixture of cultures, reflects
Derya & SanaBana-Band´s love of life and transforms every concert into a festival !
