When I was five, six years old, my grandfather always had cassettes by Ne\u015fet Erta\u015f and I used to listen to it all day long. Then, I was too young to really understand the lyrics and the meaning, but I really liked the melodies. [They\u2019re] stories about what he\u2019s facing in life. The Turkish traditional music is the blues of the Turkish people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A video for lead single\u00a0\u201cNeredesin Sen\u201d can be seen below. <em>Garip<\/em> also features collaborations with the Stockholm Studio Orchestra and will be supported by a 2026 European tour, beginning Jan. 31 in Maastricht, Holland.
