Meral Polat throws herself wholeheartedly into a world of psychedelic, danceable rock ’n’ roll. She is driven by Kurdish melodies, trance-inducing grooves, and unfiltered emotion. With her new quartet, she forges pulsing rhythms, fuzz guitars, and incantatory vocal lines into a distinctive, elusive sound of her own.

Featuring music from her new album Meydan and presented in a fresh new lineup, she introduces a quartet program in which different eras and cultures merge without losing a contemporary edge. This program gives a voice to women who forge their own paths and celebrates female strength. Musically, it delivers more rhythm, groove, rock ’n’ roll, and energy, while telling stories of resistance, struggle, and solidarity in the ongoing fight for women’s rights.
