ROSE LACE
Neotolia

Nazan Nihal and Utar Artun are taking music into a new dimension, bringing the old sounds of Turkish Folk Songs (Turku) to life in their new project; Neotolia. Nazan is a remarkable singer/songwriter and Utar is an award winning composer, conductor, film scorer and arranger. When the two met, they were inspired by their mutual addiction to music. Nazan’s unique interpretation of the old Anatolian songs sparked a chord in the musical heart of Utar and it was at that moment the concept for their new project, Neotolia, was born. In this album, Neotolia share their contemporary perception of the music that rose out of Anatolia, and bring ancient tunes to life.
