Music from the Orient is a celebration of the rich musical legacy in the Eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, the Levant and the Balkans. Founded in Eindhoven in 2017 as a project of Mercan & Bülent Kocuroǧlu, Başak Ebret and Önder Babur, Music from the Orient covers a wide range of musical styles and languages including Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, Greek, Ladino and languages from the Balkans. Music from the Orient aims to connect people from different backgrounds and cultures, and has been organizing many multicultural events notably in Eindhoven, but also in the rest of the Netherlands.
