🎉 15th ANNIVERSARY OF DET TURKISE TELT
– Since its humble beginnings in 2010 as a small tent during Aarhus Festival Week, det turkise telt has grown into a cultural powerhouse, fostering projects that connect people through music. Today, we celebrate all the events, relationships, and movements that have blossomed from det turkise telt, always powered by our dedicated volunteer group, “den turkise familie”.
🎉 TURKIS AS A REGIONAL VENUE
– This recognition highlights our work presenting Roots&Hybrid music and creating unique, holistic experiences where people connect through music. We’re excited to celebrate this day with all the communities that help make turkis a thriving house and meeting place, where new connections and communities can flourish.
GAMZE & ARZU’S FOODSTALL
No party without a feast! And here comes one, with hearts in the right place. Gamze and Arzu are our local kitchen legends, whose cooking sends most of the profits to charity. For our triple celebration, they will set up a food stall with the following menu of Turkish specialties – everything is homemade:
<3 Börek platter with feta
<3 Spinach börek
<3 Red lentil köfte
<3 Rose-shaped pastries (Poğaça) with cheese
<3 Wineleaf Dolmos
<3 Baklava
<3 Tahini cookies
Gamze and Arzu’s food will be available from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM, and the prices are very affordable. You can create your own favorite plate, and do it again and again... and again. Most of the profits go to charity, with a special focus on animal welfare, hospital clowns, civilians in Gaza, and children in need.
TEA-WIZARD ATALAY
Atalay was born and raised in the Rize province, located in the northeastern part of Turkey along the Black Sea coast. Rize and its surrounding areas are famous for tea production, and the region is characterized by its steep tea fields. Atalay's family also grows tea, which gives him a special connection to tea and the taste of high-quality tea.
Over time, we've served countless gigaliters of tea, passed between turquoise volunteer hands to thirsty tea-loving guests! That’s why we are especially excited that tea expert Atalay is contributing to this statistic by serving Turkish tea in abundance for free at our triple celebration.
RIGÓ CHOIR
We would like to invite you to a workshop on polyphonic folk singing from Portugal. We follow the oral tradition of folklore and teach all material by ear. Everyone is welcome to join, no former experience with music is needed.
RIGÓ is an Aarhus-based choir working with vocal polyphonic heritage. RIGÓ is also a project with a focus on disseminating folklore and diversity in music through workshops, for example singing circles or a course on traditional percussion styles to accompany singing.
The choir and project is led by Naja Holst Nymand and Dorottya Máté.
HALK & HALAY
When Hakan, Fatih, Serkan, and Serdal join forces, as they often do for diaspora concerts and, most of all, for weddings, they bring halay music to life with a dynamic and energetic performance. Halay refers to a variety of traditional chain dances, with roots in many different ethnicities in Turkey. With Halay’s chain reaction of strong rhythms and captivating, hypnotic repetitions of dance steps, it has an effect that can get even the most shy to dance for hours on end. It has been a tradition to dance Halay under the turquoise tent over the years, forming kilometer-long chains. Join us in a tribute to the Halay dance at our 15th anniversary celebration.
ROOTS & HYBRID / MAMMA JES - FRONTSESSION
Get ready to be moved and to move with MAMMA JES!
