Brooklyn Maqam presents: MURAT KEYDER AND FRIENDS

Murat Keyder and his trio perform a variety of traditional tunes from Turkey and surrounding countries. 

Murat performs with Eren Erdogan on Ney and Kaval and percussionist Dave Earle Chorowski. As a trio they will be playing a mix of traditional tunes from Turkey and surrounding countries. 

Murat Keyder was born in Istanbul in 1986 to a Turkish father and an American mother. He started playing both oud and guitar in his early teenage years, absorbing different styles of both Western and Turkish music. He moved to America when he was 16 and while studying math at Cornell he continued to focus intensely on music. He currently lives in Brooklyn, teaching oud, guitar, and math while writing and performing music on both instruments. His first solo album "Ruya" consists of his original guitar compositions and can be found on spotify, and he's also currently working on a solo Oud album.
