Altin Gün + Yuuf: Psychedelic Trance at L'Autre Canal
In 11 days
A Nancy Jazz Pulsations evening where Altin Gün's Turkish psych-funk meets the organic grooves of Yuuf. Two hypnotic journeys, from Anatolian melancholy to festive trance, to experience at L'Autre Canal during your stay in Nancy.
Altin Gün, Anatolian psych-funk
Acclaimed worldwide, the Amsterdam-based band is one of the spearheads of the Turkish psych-funk revival. On stage, it presents the album Garip, conceived as a vibrant tribute to the legendary Anatolian bard Neşet Ertaş, whose compositions it reinvents. Hippie rock, 1980s synth textures and sumptuous string arrangements blend into a hypnotic journey through Anatolian melancholy. The result is both otherworldly and immediately catchy: music that speaks to the body as much as to the imagination, with no need to understand the lyrics.
Garip, a tribute to Neşet Ertaş
Neşet Ertaş (1938-2012) is a beloved icon of Anatolian music, a singer, lyricist and saz virtuoso. By building Garip around his songs, Altin Gün pays homage to this heritage while projecting it into the present: the traditional melodies are enriched with lyrical strings, bursts of saxophone and a modern pulse. This dialogue between folk heritage and contemporary energy sums up the band's spirit, which loves to awaken the treasures of the Turkish repertoire of the 1960s and 1970s. In Nancy, it is this incandescent reinterpretation that the audience comes to share.
Yuuf, global groove on the handpan
As the opening act, Yuuf begins the evening with dreamlike, organic instrumental music. This cosmopolitan quartet, signed to the prestigious Ninja Tune label, brings together musicians from France, Switzerland, Denmark and England. The handpan converses with powerful grooves, carrying the audience from meditation to festive ecstasy. Its borderless music, hard to pin into a single box, sets the perfect stage for Altin Gün's trance. Two complementary proposals that make this evening a continuous sonic journey, between soaring gentleness and collective energy.
At L'Autre Canal, an NJP highlight
The concert takes place at L'Autre Canal, Nancy's contemporary music venue, 45 boulevard d'Austrasie, east of the centre. It is part of the Nancy Jazz Pulsations (NJP) line-up, a major autumn festival that radiates across the whole Grand Est region. For a passing traveller, it is the perfect chance to combine discovering the city with immersion in an evening of infectious energy. The exact times, prices and booking are on the festival's official ticketing: it is best to plan ahead, as headliners like Altin Gün fill the room quickly.
