Arif Erdem Ocak is a Turkish percussion guitarist / songwriter (and
founder of the highly popular Turkish rockband Seksendört) who connects centuries-old Turkish
melodies with modern percussion-style guitar playing. With his storytelling and melodic guitar
tunes that lean into folk, he intimately unfolds personal narratives and universal topics such as
(after) life, spirituality, virtue and our common humanity. His songs, melodies, and lyrics cover a
gamut of emotions; sometimes a mellow contemplation, sometimes overwhelmingly raw or
sometimes melodramatic. Arif creates heartfelt hypnotic songs that get under your skin and
takes the audience a journey of reflection, silence and mind fullness.
