With his electrified saz, voice, and electronic machines, the “modern-day shaman” CEM YILDIZ pushes the boundaries of Anatolian folk music and transports audiences into the vibrant world of Istanbul’s urban sounds. Take flight with his poetic live performance, “I Fly, The Skies Fly.”

​

From the Montreux Jazz Festival to Sónar Barcelona, CEM YILDIZ has performed on major world music and electronic music stages, constantly reinventing his unique sonic signature.

A pioneer in the fusion of Turkish folk traditions and electronic music, the electro-shaman has developed a singular musical universe and gained international recognition through his collaborations with Acid Arab, for whom he co-composed some of their most celebrated tracks, including “Stil,” “Ejma,” and “Döne Döne.”
