On Saturday 22 November, the fourth edition of the Merhaba Eindhoven festival will take place at Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, dedicated entirely to Turkish culture. The undisputed highlight of the day is the concert by Levent Yüksel. His music – a harmonious blend of pop, rock, and traditional Turkish influences – has been resonating with a wide audience for decades. The afterparty will be hosted by Music from the Orient and DJ Blue Flamingo.
During the day, you can experience Turkish culture at the free Bazaar – an afternoon for the whole family, full of music, food, workshops, and children’s activities.

Music from the Orient
Music from the Orient presents a performance that showcases the rich musical heritage of the Eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, the Levant, and the Balkans. Founded in 2017 in Eindhoven as a project by Mercan & Bülent Kocuroğlu, Başak Ebret, and Önder Babur, Music from the Orient covers a wide range of musical styles and languages, including Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, Greek, Ladino, and various Balkan languages. With a mission to connect people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, the group has organised numerous multicultural events, primarily in Eindhoven, but also across the Netherlands.
DJ Blue Flamingo
DJ Blue Flamingo (Ziya Ertekin) will once again host the afterparty, just as he did in previous editions. He has performed at renowned festivals such as Lowlands, North Sea Jazz, Roskilde, and Festival d’Île de France in Paris. Especially for Merhaba Eindhoven, he delves into the rich musical traditions of Turkey, his father’s homeland, blending both contemporary and traditional Turkish sounds.
