As a revered icon of halk and protest song, Selda Bağcan has been an astute chronicler of the times since her first releases in the ’70s. Giving voice to deep-rooted pain and social injustice, her heart-wrenching emotion and intricate musicianship weave through Turkish folk, rock and psychedelic explorations—as well as international collabs with the likes of electronic producer Otnicka. In this decades-spanning selection, poetic meditations on freedom (based on Nâzım Hikmet’s work) meet poignant stories of immigration and village life, passionately accompanied by her guitar or bağlama.
