Melodies from Anatolia and beyond...
'Ne-vaa', meaning 'harmony', is a unique band founded by a London based singer / songwriter Olcay Bayir. Evoking the stark beauty of the regions of Anatolia, Mediterranean and Mesopotamia, Ne-vaa is influenced by the folk music of several countries. Musicians from diverse backgrounds from London's World Music Scene collaborate to develop original ideas and create their own compositions. Ne-vaa's passionate driving rhythms, inventive arrangements and heart warming melodies sung in several languages spoken in the region pull together to form an unmissable musical experience for audiences.
Ne-vaa's music evolved out of a mutual love for the music of Anatolia. The band has been playing in world music venues across London since it's formation and its eclectic, contemporary sound is increasingly catching audiences interest all over London and the UK.
