On Saturday, November 23, the third edition of the Merhaba Eindhoven festival will take place at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, celebrating Turkish culture. The highlight of the day is a concert by the popular Turkish rock band maNga. In 2010, maNga gained worldwide fame by finishing second at the Eurovision Song Contest with their song ‘We Could Be The Same’. This special event marks the band’s 20th anniversary and is their only concert in the Netherlands!
maNga
Headliner
Even after twenty years, maNga remains one of the most popular bands in Turkey. The band seamlessly blends rock, hip-hop, electronic, and traditional Turkish music. In 2009, they won the MTV EMA award and have since shared the stage with artists like Limp Bizkit and Queensrÿche. They have performed at renowned festivals such as Sziget in Budapest and the Turkish Rock Festival in Mannheim. In 2010, maNga represented Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest and finished in second place, marking the start of their international breakthrough. Their latest album, ‘Antroposen 002,’ demonstrates that maNga continues to reinvent themselves, which is why they have remained at the top of the Turkish music scene for so long.
Music from the Orient
Music from the Orient delivers a performance showcasing the rich musical heritage from the Eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, the Levant, and the Balkans. Founded in 2017 in Eindhoven by Mercan & Bülent Kocuroǧlu, Başak Ebret, and Önder Babur, the ensemble covers a wide range of musical styles and languages, including Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, Greek, Ladino, and Balkan languages. Music from the Orient aims to connect people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, having organized many multicultural events, particularly in Eindhoven but also across the Netherlands.
DJ Blue Flamingo
DJ Blue Flamingo (Ziya Ertekin) will once again host the afterparty, just as in previous editions. He has played at events such as Lowlands, North Sea Jazz, Roskilde, and Festival d’Ile de France in Paris. For Merhaba Eindhoven, he will delve into Turkey’s rich musical tradition, the country of his father, featuring a mix of contemporary and traditional Turkish tunes.
In the afternoon, you can visit the Turkish Bazaar for free, featuring music, workshops, food and drinks, and other activities.
