She’Koyokh has been hailed as “one of the finest and most entertaining British-based exponents of global music” (The Guardian). The London-based band has dedicated over two decades to embracing the diverse folk music traditions of Jewish Eastern Europe, Turkey, and the Balkans.
The ensemble’s live performances are a captivating mix of instruments including clarinet, violin, jazzy guitar licks, accordion, bass, and dance invoking percussion, plus the sweet and passionate voice of Istanbul-born Çigdem Aslan.
