Ahmet Ali Arslan
Ahmet Ali Arslan’s songs explore an emotional sensitivity that has been mostly forgotten today. Within his warm singer/songwriter sound, one can hear traces of classical Turkish music and folk music from in and around Turkey.
After two EPs from Istanbul-based independent music collective Müzik Hayvanı, his debut album Günasigi was released in 2018 by Z Müzik/Kalan – the bastion of traditional music in Turkey. Since his Sofar performance in 2014, Ahmet Ali Arslan has appeared in many video performance sessions.
He has further developed his audience with a series he produced called Bahçeden - performance videos from his own garden hosting fellow singers for duets. Self-produced, his second studio Album Dünyalarız Uzakta was released in November 2019. After releasing 6 singles with more adventurous and energetic sounds, he is now preparing for a concept studio album.
