Coinciding with the year Istanbul is celebrated as European Capital of Culture, the Istanbulive program will feature a myriad of sounds within the east-meets-west mold including Turkish rock, jazz, dance, pop and folk music.
Kenan Dogulu has become one of the most successful entertainers to come out of Turkey since releasing his debut album in 1993. His playful lyrics and an urban pop sound of R&B, hip-hop and dance has won him a legion of fans over 8 studio and 4 remix albums. He represented Turkey in the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest with "Shake It Up Sekerim," which placed fourth in the competition. Some of his most popular songs include "Yakarim Bilirsin," "Ask Oyunu," "Tutamiyorum Zamani," "Ex Askim," "Cakkidi" "Rutbeni Bileceksin," as well as his remake of the anthem, "10. Yıl Marsi."
