Meral Polat infuses the Kurdish soul with the raw energy of blues and unfiltered emotion. Accompanied by three virtuosic musicians, she brings hypnotic soundscapes to life in a deeply moving performance.

Her debut album ‘Ez Kî Me’ is a contemporary interpretation of Anatolian music, at times a battle cry, at others a delicate call for identity and belonging.
It has been nominated for the Songlines Music Award and UPBEAT best new talent award 2024.
