Chettini And The Turkish Trio

Ironhand Records is proud to present another magnum opus of East and West music: "Chettini and the Turkish Trio - Oriental Soul", first released in 1972. Çetin Bükey, credited as Chettini, was a musician who, during his unique career in Turkey and the UK, has truly engaged in eastern, western and hybrid musical experiments with an adventurous and nomadic soul. Bükey has played along with Turkish music masterpieces and composed film scores with his brother, Metin Bükey. He also accompanied the iconic Turkish psychedelic folk rock singer Barış Manço.

In the UK, he continued his musical career with great opportunities such as a live jam with George Harrison and an exclusive appearance on Barbra Streisand's 1973 album "Barbra Streisand...And Other Musical Instruments". Bükey's most notable work was the fabulous "Oriental Soul" album, which is now being reissued by Ironhand Records. On this reissue, Chettini and The Turkish Trio present a blend of soul and jazz with some psychedelic elements. The album is a tribute to Chettini's remarkable life, a life dedicated to bridging cultures, breaking musical boundaries and speaking the universal language of music. His legacy lives on in every note, every beat and every melody, reminding us of the beauty that emerges when East meets West, and when one soul establishes a bridge between worlds.
