ISTANBUL - Hürriyet Daily News

Turkish singer-songwriter Bülent Ortaçgil, whose musical style could be described as similar to Cat Stevens and Bob Dylan, has released his first album in seven years, “Sen” (You). He will take the stage in Istanbul.

Ortaçgil will be accompanied by Cem Aksel on drums, Gürol Ağırbaş on bass, Birol Ağırbaş on percussion, Barlas Tan Özemek on electronics, and Baki Duyarlar on keyboards. He released his first album, titled “Benimle Oynar Misin” (Would You Play with Me?) in 1974. He married after releasing this album and concentrated on his family for the next 10 years while working as a chemical engineer. Afterwards, he began collaborating with another prominent Turkish singer-songwriter Fikret Kızılok, a collaboration that resulted in the album “Pencere Önü Çiçeği” (The Flower in Front of the Window), released in 1986.
