To the question about the cancellation of the concerts of Orhan Gencebay, Hande Yener and Ece Seçkin, which were displayed in Nişantaşı, he replied, “I don’t know. I can’t comment on a subject that I don’t know.”
“I LOVE MY GOVERNMENT, MY HOMELAND”
The artist, who said that she decided not to do an interview and was very upset because her words were misunderstood, used the following statements:
“Even if you say something that you believe to be true, someone draws you somewhere according to their personal opinion. I find it more appropriate not to express an opinion on this. I have no resentment towards anyone. I love my state and my homeland very much and I respect my values very much.”
“I WAS AN EXAMPLE TO MANY FRIENDS”
Gencebay, who previously made a tribute album called ‘A Life with Orhan Gencebay’ with 32 artists, said, “Will there be a work like this again?” On the question, “I was the first to do this. I have been an example to many of our friends after me. This is a separate happiness for me. Thanks to our artist friends, we have done good works. I am thinking of doing it again.”
“THAT’S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFERENT”
Orhan Gencabay said that he does not know many young artists, but he had the idea of preparing an album with unknown names and he wanted to give them a chance by performing their old works to these names. Expressing that he plans to release a piece in 3-4 months in the near future and that rap music will be among them, the master artist said, “Very different, very beautiful things will happen. Everyone will be very surprised. We will start soon.”
“COPYRIGHT ISSUE IS VERY IMPORTANT”
Mentioning the issue of artists not releasing albums, Gencebay said, “Currently, the efforts made cannot be adequately repaid. If the copyright issue is not resolved, the artists do not expect material and moral good days. This issue is the most important issue.”
“I HAVE MANY GRAND-GRANTS SPIRITUALLY”
“Gokhan Gencebay got married. When will your longing for grandchildren end?” The 77-year-old artist answered the question, “I love children very much, I love people very much. I already have many grandchildren spiritually, but I expect it from Gökhan.”
