One of Türkiye's leading jazz guitarists, Bilal Karaman, performs his acclaimed "Manouche a La Turca" project as part of the 10th International Bodrum Jazz Festival. Blending the lively spirit of Gypsy Jazz with Anatolia's rich musical traditions, Karaman invites the audience on a soulful journey through original compositions and unique arrangements of popular classics.
Having shared the stage with legends like Marcus Miller and developed a distinctive style through his "Manouche a La Turca" series, Karaman is joined by a quartet of Türkiye's most distinguished musicians. This special evening will also feature the presentation of the "Lifetime Jazz Achievement Award" to the legendary musician Erkan Oğur.
We would like to thank OR ENERJİ for their concert support and Dibeklihan for their venue support.
