Description

Astounding cross-over of the highest quality

Singer Kibariye is an absolute superstar in Turkey.

Kibariye en Rosenberg Trio openen Turkey Now! 2010 Kimbilir had a hit soon after her first performances in Istanbul in 1980. Since then she has released more than twenty (!) CDs. Kibariye has a Roma background, is familiar with many styles and shifts primarily between Anatolian folk music, Roma repertoire and Arabesk. Everyone in Turkey has heard of her and she is very popular on Turkish Hyve.

Outside of the Turkish community her name is unknown. This is about to change now that she is going to perform with the gifted musicians from the Rosenberg Trio. Kibariye and the Rosenbergs share more than their background, as they all possess an amazing musical versatility.

The gypsy jazz of master guitarist Stochelo Rosenberg and his cousins on rhythm guitar and double bass provides an exciting setting for Kibariye's supple vocals.

The opening concert of Turkey Now! is an astounding cross-over of the highest quality.
