With Mythos of Âşık, musician and producer Erdem Pancarcı turns his attention to one of the oldest yet most vibrant cultural narratives of Anatolia and Mesopotamia: the Âşık tradition. This deeply rooted musical and poetic heritage—carried by traveling musicians, storytellers, and spiritual seekers—is more than just a musical genre. It is a living form of cultural memory, a bridge between folk poetry, mysticism, and social reality.
In his new release, Pancarcı blends traditional instruments such as the Bağlama and Tembûr with a contemporary soundscape that subtly incorporates jazz, improvisational elements, and global music styles. The songs speak of love, longing, justice, and spiritual devotion—topics that have shaped Âşık culture for centuries and feel more relevant than ever today.
Mythos of Âşık is not a mere reproduction of folkloric forms, but an artistic engagement with a myth whose significance has not faded over time. The album presents itself as a sonic mosaic—rooted in tradition yet not bound by it; deeply anchored, yet open to new contexts.
With this release, Pancarcı invites listeners to rediscover the Âşık not only as a musician, but as a cultural bearer, chronicler, and spiritual companion—in an age that longs more than ever for connection, depth, and authenticity.
