| Zeynep’s World Blend Music project combines Anatolian, Balkan, Mediterranean, Latin American and North American melodies, rhythms and styles. The newly released album Z [zee], is a brilliant combination of both original and authentic repertoire. “…Zeynep Ozbilen has lived in two very different places – Istanbul, in her native Turkey and here in our city (Toronto) and not surprisingly you can hear those influences in her music… Jazz with a Turkish flavor meshed with her Latin American style. This is Zeynep Ozbilen!…” Susan McReynolds (CBC Radio) “Just when I thought I’d heard every fusion imaginable, along comes Zeynep Ozbilen…” Errol Nazareth (CBC Music). “…I cannot remember when I last wanted to listen to a vocalist’s record over and over again. [ zee ] is one of the most alluring albums of this year so far…” Raul de Gama (The World Music Report). |
