KONZERT FREUNDSCHAFTSLIEDER. SINEM UND NIKOS SINGEN VON BEIDEN UFERN DER ÄGÄIS

In the organizer's words:

Sinem Garnateo Weber from Stuttgart and Nikos Hatziliadis from Tübingen stand on the shores of the Aegean and unite their voices in a moving musical collaboration. The Aegean Sea as a common sea between Turks and Greeks serves as a symbol of their cultural ties and shared history.

Music has always acted as a bridge-builder between nations - despite political tensions and historical conflicts. For centuries, the cultural roots of both peoples have been united in music. "Rembetiko music is an example of this shared tradition. It goes back primarily to musicians from Izmir and Istanbul and originated in the 1920s in port and working-class neighborhoods. It reflects universal feelings associated with love, loss and migration. Today, influences from Turkish and Greek music can also be found in modern pop music. Sinem Garnateo Weber and Nikos Hatziliadis continue this tradition, accompanied by bassist Nikos Konstantinidis and guitarist Enis Akmut, and show that cultural ties are stronger than political differences.

Sinem and Nikos' music together is a call for reconciliation and a celebration of the human experience. Their songs bring people from different backgrounds together to celebrate, mourn and celebrate harmony between cultures.
