Aysay

In the organizer's words:

A marriage of cultures, eras and styles that can only rarely be experienced: AYSAY create music that transcends all artificially drawn boundaries, all genre conventions and creates something entirely new. Growing up between the Danish and Kurdish roots of her parents, mastermind Luna Bülow Ersahin fell in love with the sound of Arabic lutes at an early age, especially with the mystical elegance of oud and baglama. Together with her bandmates Carl West Hosbond and Aske Døssing Bendixen, she makes this love the constitutive feature of the idiosyncratic AYSAY sound, incorporating synthesizers, bass guitars, flutes and a whole range of carefully selected samples. The result is nothing less than pure magic that defies clear categorization, sometimes sounding psychedelic to avant-garde, but then again dedicated to the traditional sounds of Kurdistan. It is no coincidence that the renowned Danish GAFFA magazine gave the debut album "Su Akar" (2021) the highest rating and raved about an unforgettable experience. AYSAY'ssecond album "KÖY" was released on Friday, October 13. With its pop-heavy productions and elements of Anatolian psych-rock, the album creates a universe in which Danish, Turkish and Kurdish merge seamlessly and folk songs are given new life.
