Idas y Vueltas website

"Taylan Polat and Eduardo Trassierra brought a new concept of fusion through uniting Turkish and Flamenco elements. The music of Idas y Vueltas (“Comings and Goings”) is not the result of chance or a mere juxtaposition of Turkish and flamenco musicians who alternate their own discourses, but an overlapping of consistent knowledge and music. [...]

The results conjugate original poetry, traditional and Turkish authors' songs, all performed within the bounds of soleá, seguiriya, tangos and other flamenco styles without loosening their oriental essence.

Idas y Vueltas is a discourse about the path of life, through which one goes by and learns. Fusion necessarily requires knowledge, understanding and respect between cultures; here it is performed not as a simple brainchild, but as a thrilling account of sincere music."
