Garanti BBVA Genç Konserleri: Echoes of Prince & Ankara Echoes will take place on April 18 at %100 Studio, as part of PSM Loves2Gather!
With over a decade of powerful live performance experience across stages from Paris to London, Berlin to Zagreb and Monaco, Echoes Of stands out as one of the most respected collectives on the European funk scene.
The group is widely known for its original and highly popular tribute projects dedicated to the American funk heritage of the 1970s and 1980s: Echoes Of Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Dayton, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, and Washington. The pinnacle of these projects is “Funk & The City,” a residency that sells out every month at Paris’s legendary jazz club New Morning, and has become one of the band’s signature events.
Echoes Of also performs regularly at some of Europe’s most prestigious venues and events, including South London Soul Train Parties (Bussey Building, Omeara, Lafayette), Berlin Heideglühen, Zagreb Peti Kupe, and Monaco.
In addition, since 2019, the group has drawn major attention with its highly acclaimed Echoes Of Prince special tribute show. Echoes Of has also become an indispensable backing band for artists such as Howard Johnson, Junior Giscombe, and most recently Kyoto Jazz Massive. Together with Kyoto Jazz Massive, they tour and record under the name Echoes Of A New Dawn Orchestra.
Recently, Echoes Of has been focusing on their original music with a new project called Jéroboam. This powerful 12-member ensemble delivers the finest contemporary disco funk and rare groove, with releases on respected labels such as Space Grapes, Chuwanaga, and Favorite Recordings, carrying the spirit of legendary 70s and 80s funk bands into the present day.
Hailed as one of the most exciting funk projects of the last three years, Jéroboam promises a live experience that is both nostalgic and completely fresh.
The Ankara Echoes music collective, led by Mertkan Erkan, continues to make waves with its growing fan base and strong impact in a short time. Known for their powerful stage presence, intimate connection with the audience, and the unique atmosphere they create during live performances, the collective will meet listeners at Zorlu PSM on April 18, following Echoes of Prince.
Blending the rock spirit of the 1970s with today’s urban sound, Ankara Echoes goes beyond music at every concert, promising an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Sing-along crowds, performances that linger in conversations long after the show, and a steadily growing loyal audience define the collective, as they prepare to deliver a memorable night within the scope of PSM Loves2Gather.
Don’t miss this special night where rhythm, energy, and collective spirit come together on stage.
