ABOUT
Mircan Kaia (Mircan Kaya) is a musician and an engineer from Turkey of Laz/Mingrelian-Georgian origin with a multicultural identity who has produced several widely acclaimed albums and directed and coordinated several international engineering projects.
She carved out a niche for herself on the music scene with the albums "Bizim Ninniler" and "Kül," which she released in 2005. As a result, thousands of babies are now sleeping with her healing voice singing lullabies. This album was the first in its genre covering traditional Anatolian lullabies. It was followed by another successful album, "Kul & Ashes," with contemporary arrangements of traditional songs from Anatolia, Georgia, and Bosnia.
Mircan's third album "Sala" received very good reviews from music authorities. The album was reviewed by FROOTS magazine and described as a Pre-Raphaelite tapestry, a genius work full of juxtapositions. The album actually represents the multicultural blend of Mircan's inner personality and her music, which fits very well with the environment, combining many different elements such as geography, language, religions, traditions, etc.
"Sala" was followed by her albums "Numinosum," "Outim," "Elixir," "Nanni," and "Minor." Up to now, she has produced eight solo albums in collaboration with musicians from Turkey, the UK, and Australia.
