@turquazzculture is a nonprofit culture platform created in 2019 in the UK with the aim of bringing two crucial aspects of culture together: Flavour and melody. Taking its roots in the Anatolian region from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean and from Greece to the borders of Iran, Turquazz explores the endless stories of this vast landscape with a long-standing history and multi-faceted culture. This project aims to bring a contemporary approach to the culinary and musical richness of the cultural mosaic that is Anatolia. The goal of this platform is to provide literature for the English-speaking world about culinary and music cultures rooted in Anatolia, while featuring articles that focus on timeless cultural commentary. Turquazz is a new way of talking about culture and a cultural movement that aspires to bring Anatolian music and culinary art, artists and creatives and new audiences together.

If you want to be a part of our movement as well, join us at turquazz.com

#RuhiSu is a famous Turkish folk singer of old times. This folk song he sings tells of the Gallipoli War. It is a horrible war in which thousands of people lost their lives. #Atatürk , who taught us how to protect our home, said the following after this terrible war; "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well." #çanakkalegeçilmez

If we were now in the building where we lived in Bebek when I was a child, our neighbour Armenian Doctor Uncle would shout "Kokoor kokoor Nebahat Hanım". Then a plate of the legendary liver my grandmother cooked would go to Uncle Doctor's house.

Yakında bu patlak belgesellerden derlemeler yayınlamaya başlayacağım.

“İstanbul’un Tadı”ndan başka bir video. B

“İstanbul’un Tadı”ndan başka bir video. Bu video, "15 Temmuz" darbe döneminin kurbanları projelerimden biri hakkında. Yedi dakikalık bir kesit. Beş yıl önce giriştiğimiz enfes belgesel "İstanbul'un Tadı" ndan hazırladığım senaryo röportajlarında ufak bir derleme. Yapımcı görüşmelerinde kullanmak üzere derlenmişti. Araştırmam dört başlık altında toplanmıştı: malzeme, yaklaşım, uygulama ve tüketici.

Birbirinden değerli yaklaşık 30 önemli İstanbul insanının nadide görüşlerine baş vurmuştuk. Herkese sorduğum tek bir soru ve akabinde saatler süren aldığım cevaplar vardı. Soru çok basitti aslında; “En sevdiğin İstanbul yemeği nedir?”

Şimdi baktığımda, bu filme devam edecek olsam başka bir unsur daha eklemek gerekebilir sanırım; İstanbul'dan geriye ne kaldı?

Beş yıl öncesine kıyasla bile : - /

Ya da tüm soruları sil baştan sormak lazım 🙂

Sevinç Tevs. Sevinç Tevs'in "Longing for you" (Arif Mardin'in başyapıtlarından biri) şarkısını söylediği arşiv ses kaydını yayınladıktan iki gün sonra, bugün Sevinç Hanım'ın ölüm yıldönümü. Sevinç Tevs'i, mirasını ve diğer ilk caz divalarımızı da bu vesileyle saygıyla selamlıyorum.
..

Two days after releasing Sevinc Tevs' rare audio record of her singing "Longing for you" (One of Mr Arif Mardin’s masterpiece), today is Ms Tevs' death anniversary. I respectfully salute Ms Tevs and her legacy and our other first jazz divas.

Today was a very tough day for some of us (including me), big waves and a shaky boat was a perfect couple of trouble. This moment was the only nice part of the day.
