ABOUT
Turlitawa (= Roma for) spicy hotpot from global ingredients with fantastic flavors. Prepared on the induction stove in a cast-iron casserole with an electric silicone coating.

We add the freeze-dried campfire powder to boiling beef fat so that it can develop its full aroma. Now put the finely chopped percussion, the political slogans, a hint of irony, fiery club chili, metropolis pepper, nomadic salt, melancholy (wistfulness), traditional minced meat, and large family madness into the casserole and then simmer it with much love for a few years on a low flame. Serve hot and dance it all up! In short: "urban tziganik hotpot" by and for the Gypsies of this world.

Turlitawa is a high-caliber quintet around the Roma actor, philosopher, and bouzouki virtuoso Mustafa Zekirov (Macedonia) and the multi-instrumentalist, producer, and video artist Iwan Harlan (Germany): Nicolao Valiensi - brass (Italy), Marc zur Oven - drums & percussion (Congo, Egypt, Spain, Colombia), and Reiner Witzel - reeds & flutes (Germany).
