Collectif Medz Bazar is an alternative-folk band composed of musicians of Armenian, Turkish, French and American descent. Drawing on their respective traditions and those of neighboring cultures, the members of the collective create original arrangements of traditional music as well as compositions of their own.
The band's last production, VODKI ՈՏՔԻ/STAND/AYAKLAN/DEBOUT, is a call for dialogue between peoples, for their emancipation from destructive ideologies, for stepping beyond a heritage of hatred and violence.
Each musician in this cross-cultural band is a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Their message is one of emancipation and fraternity, their music is imbued with folk traditions, old and new. Singing in their mother tongues (Turkish, Armenian, English and French), they tell the story of an inner home, accustomed to exile, cultural blending and renewal.
