A THOUSAND CRANES
18 Nov 2016 @ Handelsbeurs Concertzaal, Ghent (BE)
Album Launch Concert
Cigdem Aslan’s second album, A Thousand Cranes is a mesmerising sequel to the songs of the 1920’s Smyrna and Istanbul of her debut album Mortissa – released by Asphalt Tango Records.
Taking its name after tourna/tούρνα (crane); a migratory bird that resonates with strong symbolism in many cultures and mythologies; with A Thousand Cranes, Cigdem too is migrating through ages and across borders to continue her journey and explore songs of Athens, the Balkans and South East Anatolia.
