CEM YILDIZ
“I Fly, The Skies Fly”
Anatolian Electro-Folk
Flying Through the Electro-Anatolian Music Universe!
Bridging Anatolian music with urban and electronic sounds, “Modern-Day troubadour” and multi-instrumentalist CEM YILDIZ is on tour with album “I Fly, The Skies Fly” and his shamanic performance.
From Montreux Jazz Festival to Sonar Barcelona, Cem Yildiz has performed at major electronic and world music festivals across Europe and Turkey, continuously reinventing his signature sound on stage. His journey, which began with album “HÜ” - composed of Alevi songs - deepened with bands Orient Expressions and Insanlar. His international hits “Stil”, “Ejma” and “Atlas”, created in collaboration with Acid Arab, are also part of this ongoing exploration. Referring to his recent albums “Kün”, “Şah” and “Ben Uçarım Gökler Uçar” (I Fly, The Skies Fly), Yıldız states: “Theses albums are the tangible outcome of the sound I have been pursuing for years”.
Graduated from the State Conservatory of Istanbul Technical University, Cem Yildiz has built a prolific career that includes solo projects, film and series music, as well as international collaborations. Nicknamed “Electro-Shaman” and “Acid Dede”, he blends shamanic ambiance, rhythmic dance elements, and acid folk/techno sounds in his improvisation-driven performances. On stage, he reinterprets lyrics in real-time, offering a unique experience at every concert.
