Review: Derya Yıldırım & Graham Mushnik :: Hey Dostum, Çak! – Music For Children And Other People

No, you don’t have to be a kid or have kids to see HEY DOSTUM, CAK! listen. That’s also possible, of course, then this collection of new interpretations of Turkish lullabies and children’s songs, old pop hits and even older folk songs is much better entertainment for the offspring than the usual Bibi & Tina hell. But the selection made by Derya Yıldırım & Graham Mushnik, who otherwise reconcile Anatolian folklore and pop in the Grup Şimşek, also tells a great deal about the German-Turkish relationship and the history of migration that connects the countries with each other.

When Hamburg-born Yıldırım interprets “Arkadaşım Eşek”, a classic by Barış Manço inspired by the very German fairy tale “The Bremen Town Musicians”, in which the deceased Turkish rock star laments the loss of homeland in contrast to the cheerful melody, then the intercultural turns Reference carousel additional rounds until a few more people have learned that integration does not necessarily mean assimilation. But when she sings the lullaby “Atem Tutem Men Seni” as a wonderfully melancholic lament, every child, no matter what passport they have, falls asleep peacefully.
