Monika Bulanda Quartet
Barış Ertürk: sax
Onat Murat: p
Baran Say: db
Monika Bulanda: d & v
Led by drummer, vocalist, and composer Monika Bulanda, the quartet offers a contemporary jazz-fusion experience that blends intricate improvisations with original compositions. This multi-layered performance creates a rich sensory universe where rhythm and storytelling move freely between structured arrangements and open expression.
A Polish-born interdisciplinary artist, Monika Bulanda has spent 18 years in Istanbul, successfully reflecting the city’s cultural texture in her music. Known for her multilingual style and using her vocals as a rhythmic instrument, her 2025 album Fragments stands as an artistic manifesto inspired by the city's layered identity.
The ensemble features Baran Say (db), one of the most respected bassists on the scene; Onat Murat (p), who combines his international academic background with a unique harmonic language; and Barış Ertürk (sax), recognized for his technical precision and distinctive improvisational voice.
We would like to thank the Embassy of the Republic of Poland for their support. We would like to thank The Marmara Bodrum for their venue support.
With the contributions of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Türkiye.
