Additional Information
Irem Bekter has lived in Quebec for 18 years. Before that, she lived in Argentina, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Turkey, her native country. Having worked in theater and dance, this multidisciplinary artist now focuses her work on music. Her broad cultural background and independent spirit have led her to release a new album, This Winding Road, on Friday, April 17. Produced by none other than the highly talented Jean Massicotte (Arthur H, Pierre Lapointe, etc.), this album takes us on the winding roads of her long journey, drawing inspiration from each stage: Ottoman melodic segments, Balkan influences, electric jazz, electrotango, dub-reggae, Spanish-language rap, groove, and more. The Montreal launch concert is scheduled for that same Friday (Le Ministère), after which Irem Bekter will perform in Sutton on April 25 (La SAG), in Toronto on April 30 (Drom Taberna), and in Quebec City on May 2 (Morrin Centre). And since it’s never too late to express oneself, Irem Bekter offers a dozen original songs in which she explores childhood, love, friendship, exile, and resilience through laughter, loss, and even forgetting. What’s more, Irem Bekter is also involved in supporting seniors with declining independence—another sign of her great humanity.
