Born in Istanbul, in an apartment building where five different
faiths lived side by side, Umut Adan grew up surrounded by cultural plurality and sonic fellowship. After moving to Italy as a student, he embraced diverse musical styles on stage and released his first 7” EP, which immediately caught the attention of The Wire. Soon after, he released two more 45s and was invited by Jack White to open his Istanbul concert — a performance that drew the interest of legendary producer Liam Watson (The White Stripes, Elephant), who then brought him to London for recordings.
The result was Bahar, released on Riverboat Records, awarded four stars by Downbeat and hailed by Magnet Magazine as the best album of its genre worldwide. During the tours and festivals that followed, Adan forged a close bond with his Italian bandmates, whom he named Zebânis. Together they recorded their collective new album Başka Bahar, released on San Francisco’s renowned Six Degrees Records. The first single will be released in September.
