Şimdi Ensemble "Nihavend Peşrev"-Katip Çelebi (1609, İstanbul - 1657)

Şimdi Ensemble bases its philosophy on seizing the moment. It pursues the eternity of "now" and love in music where these attain their best expression. Strongly rooted in the tradition of Anatolian sufism, Şimdi energizes centuries old poems set to music by band members. Intense yet soothing, Şimdi delivers the splendid marriage of a soulful voice with four humble traditional instruments from Turkey. Bora Uymaz (vocals), Şirin Pancaroğlu (çeng), Serkan Çakır (ney), Cem Çırak (tanbur)
