KAPIKO

KAPIKO is an Istanbul-based powerful fusion and progressive ethno/world jazz lineup centered around the kaval – a traditional flute of Anatolia and the Balkans. KAPIKO's latest album Nova, a milestone of Turkish fusion and ethno/world jazz, has been listed among the best Turkish jazz albums of 2022 by Cazkolik magazine writers.

&#34;KAPIKO’s new album Nova has taken its place among the vanguard of contemporary ethno/world jazz and fusion albums. Over the course of Nova’s 8 tracks, <a href="spotify:artist:2MhxdWIRkiKSVKDgddZCYP" data-name="Batuhan Aydın">Batuhan Aydın</a>&#39;s unique approach to improvisation – blending traditional Turkish and Bulgarian kaval techniques with concepts of modern jazz – creates a fresh new approach to fusion and ethno/world jazz.&#34; -Zekeriya Şen

&#34;Perhaps the most striking feature of KAPIKO&#39;s album Nova is that it incorporates the kaval into jazz; the entirety of the music though paints a greater picture. I can easily say that Nova is one of the best recordings of the year.&#34; -Feridun Ertaşkan

&#34;Nova appeals to many different audiences, but most of all to refined music enthusiasts! You&#39;re facing an album that is ambitious in every aspect.&#34; -Murat Beşer

A wide array of traditional and progressive improvisational concepts, the mesmerizing sound of Turkish kaval virtuoso <a href="spotify:artist:2MhxdWIRkiKSVKDgddZCYP" data-name="Batuhan Aydın">Batuhan Aydın</a>&#39;s soulful kaval playing, energetic stage performances and driving rhythms make the music of KAPIKO a unique experience.
