Mercan Dede—Secret Tribe is a one-of-a-kind personality in the Istanbul art scene that has just been exploding with creative energy lately. A musician as well as producer, he is defining artistically superb and thoroughly contemporary styles of blending Near Eastern tonal traditions and digital sounds. In his latest project entitled “Secret Tribe,” Mercan Dede and his accompanying musicians show that there is no lack of similarities between the ecstasy of Oriental dervishes and the state of inebriation of modern-day partygoers, and makes clear how close the Orient and Occident really are.
