Sea songs, Aegean culture and Dionysus spirit... Kirika is searching for the sea culture that has been started to be forgotten.
Openness that comes along with the sea, sun and the excitement of Dionysus. Eating, drinking, singing, dancing, weddings, rituals, moss and southwester winds... Kirika is looking for a sea wind lost for a long time.
Nourished by the traditional forms, Kirika preserves the original styles of Agean musics while presenting them from a new viewpoint. The main inspiration of Kirika is the music emerging at the end of 19th century in Ottoman Empire's cosmopolite cities like Istanbul, Smyrna, Thessalonica that carried on in meyhane/cafe aman (wine shop) until 1960s, a music that could be described as the "folk music of the city".
