Gitanos del Mediterraneo

About this event

Gitanos del Mediterraneo brings flamenco and Anatolian music together on one stage at CSO Ada Ankara on Monday 16 November 2026 at 20:00 in the Ziraat Bankası Ana Salon. The project is led by the Spanish pianist and composer David Peña Dorantes, whom the venue describes as blending the deep-rooted flamenco tradition with touches of jazz and classical music, using the piano to explore the expressive range of flamenco and to bring Andalusian rhythms and melodies into a wider musical language. Dorantes is joined by İsmail Tunçbilek on bağlama and Aytaç Doğan on kanun. In the venue's words, the meeting combines the rhythms of flamenco, the layered sound of the piano, the depth of the bağlama and the fine melodies of the kanun, with room for improvisation, building a musical bridge between the two shores of the Mediterranean, from Lebrija to Istanbul. The trio are reuniting for this project. The Ziraat Bankası Ana Salon is the main hall of CSO Ada Ankara, the concert complex that is home to the Presidential Symphony Orchestra, on Talatpaşa Bulvarı in the Opera quarter of Altındağ. Practical notes: tickets are sold through Biletinial, which the venue links from its event page.
