The Meral Polat Trio makes a journey from Kurdish folk music to protest desert blues, from east to west and back. Using their own text and the poems of Meral's father, the trio builds the songs with intriguing and compelling sounds. Songs in Kurdish, Turkish, Farsi and Greek in which beauty is given a place, next to the intense sorrow and longing of an oppressed people. And up-tempo songs that celebrate love, freedom and life with a fiery inspiration.
