Ferman Akgül on tour in Turkey: how the first leg went
Çorum, Amasya, Kastamonu, Karabük — footage from Rota's first four nights.
The first leg of Rota is behind us. Opening on 7 October at the Çorum State Theatre, the tour went on to play four nights in a row through Amasya, Kastamonu and Karabük.
The stage wasn't enough at these shows: mid-song, Ferman Akgül stepped down into the crowd and walked the aisles, singing every song together with the room. The footage in the video is from those nights.
Thank you to everyone who welcomed us across Central Anatolia and the western Black Sea, and sang along to every song.
Next up: Leg II
The tour heads up to the Eastern Anatolian plateau with the first snow:
In December, Leg III brings it to Samsun, Ordu and Trabzon. All dates and tickets on the tickets page.
