ODYSSEE: MUSIK DER METROPOLEN 2024 I Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek

In the organizer's words:

Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek deliver a unique blend of traditional Anatolian folk with 70s Turkish rock, pop and jazz elements from July 24 to 27. This is not least due to the haunting voice of this versatile singer and multi-instrumentalist, who meanders through original arrangements and electrifying grooves. Together with the virtuoso trio Grup Şimşek, she creates a beguiling psychedelic journey that combines the multi-layered poetic traditions of Anatolia with contemporary sounds in a fascinating way.

Urban sounds for all the senses, as always open air and free of charge! The Global Music Truck has been touring the region every year for more than a quarter of a century. The team of organizers from Ringlokschuppen Ruhr in Mülheim, Bahnhof Langendreer in Bochum, Pelmke in Hagen and Altstadtschmiede Recklinghausen in cooperation with the Institute for Cultural Work in Recklinghausen guarantees an attractive program.

Thanks to the proven media partnership of WDR COSMO, the festival will once again attract fans from all over the region to brilliant stage shows this summer.

We would like to thank the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Regional Cultural Program NRW, the Bochum Cultural Office and Sparkasse Vest Recklinghausen for their generous support of ODYSSEE.
