About the Event
The rhythm of jazz echoes once again in the timeless nature of Kaş.
Kaş, one of the most enchanting destinations in the Mediterranean, is preparing to host the refined sounds of jazz once more this summer. In its 8th edition, Kaş Caz Festivali meets music lovers in the unique atmosphere of Setur Marina between August 28–30, with the contributions of MarineERA.
Running for three days, the festival offers an action-packed program featuring talks, workshops, surprise events, DJ performances, and concerts by local and international artists. Setting off with the motto “Roots and Migrations” this year, the festival goes beyond music to focus on the bond established with nature. Breathwork and mindfulness sessions held at sunrise, DJ sets kicking off at sunset, and rhythms continuing through the night promise participants a timeless escape far away from the city.
The first wave of the festival lineup draws attention with a powerful selection spanning three days. Among the first announced artists are 166 Days, the multi-layered project of Anıl Şallıel, one of the prolific names in the Türkiye jazz scene; Julia Biel, the elegant and profound voice of modern jazz; Şenay Lambaoğlu with her powerful interpretation; Jembaa Groove, bringing together afro-funk and soul influences with energetic performances; and Feride Hakim Quintet.
Standing out with its interdisciplinary approach, Michel Godard Trio is poised to be one of the most remarkable performances of this year. Comprising Michel Godard (serpent/bass), Ihab Radwan (oud/vocals), and Derya Türkan, the trio will bring together the musical heritage of different geographies in an authentic language. Meanwhile, Homeland, one of the strong representatives of contemporary jazz on the local scene, with its lineup of Tuluğ Tırpan, Serkan Çağrı, Mehmet Akatay, and Mehmet Özen, will be one of the festival’s highlight performances, bridging East and West through music.
Expanding its program and enriching its experience areas with every passing year, Kaş Caz Festivali is ready to offer attendees not just a festival, but a holistic experience thanks to the strong bond it establishes between music and nature. Early bird tickets and new artist announcements will be revealed very soon.
