"On stage Aslan is a fresh, natural and relaxed performer with a beautiful voice. Her facility to slip from Greek to Turkish and several other languages is a real asset."

Hello All,

I would like to thank everyone who came to Royal Albert Hall last week to support me. It was great to feel your positive energy. I also would like to thank my friends Pavlos Carvalho, Meg Hamilton, Tahir Palali and Pavlos Melas for the great performance and friendship.
Each performance is a different experience. Every time I perform I rediscover in different ways that things are better shared. If you don’t have connection with those around you, then whatever you do is incomplete. Therefore I want to thank everyone who came and made every effort to connect with me even though they didn’t understand everything I sang.
Tolerance and empathy are touchstones for peace.

Wishing peace for all

In summer 2010, Cigdem Aslan was invited to Sejny, a small, friendly town in Poland. She was in Sejny for a week, in which she participated in workshops for the young local musicians and established the foundations of the 'Nefesh' project. This incredible week was documented by Filmmaker Kuba Kossak. Here's the teaser of this documentary, which we havent seen yet:)
