Tel ve Ten is the debut album by Ozan Baysal. Discover the diverse sounds of the double-necked baglama, a modified Turkish instrument which has evolved from the traditional Anatolian baglama style, selpe. Featuring improvisations, original compositions and arrangements of traditional Anatolian melodies.

Baglama virtuoso, composer and singer Erdal Akkaya together with the baroque orchestra caterva musica take listeners on an exciting musical voyage through centuries of shared history between Orient and Occident. "It is like embracing the past, the future and eternity on the banks of the river of culture, which has been flowing uninterruptedly for centuries" describes Akkaya. His original compositions alongside European and Turkish music from the 14th to the 18th centuries tell stories of love and quarrels, truths and falsehoods, peace and conflict, giving insights into the multifaceted relationship between the Ottoman Empire and the West.

Divan & Divine is a synthesis of western tones and Turkish-Anatolian motifs that communicates issues of great ethical significance. Inspired by a selection of 14th to 16th century troubadour poems about historical injustice, Zeyn’el carries forward the messages of his much-honoured ancestors, alongside some of his own original compositions reflecting similar issues still seen today.
