MINOR
 
Lesser , as in size, extent or importance , Minor means in music having a semitone lower than the major and is also of or related to the minority. Having been realized with a multi ethnic team of musicians combining traditional ethnic instruments and contemporary ones to perform the folk songs of the minority people of Turkey, Minor is a music project emphasizing the importance, value and tolerance that Mircan Kaya gives to ethnic and cultural diversity, giving a message of “togetherness” rather than “separation” , hence reflecting the cultural and ethnic diversity of Turkey.
 
Minor was produced and directed by Mircan Kaya who is representing Turkey succesfully in the World Music genre with her international music projects. She is the first women in Turkey to receive an award for the best film music and accepted as a “cult” with her unique sound and ideas.
 
The album contains folk songs in Abhaz, Armenian, Azeri, Bosnian, Georgian, Laz-Mingrelain, Kurdish, Yiddish languages apart from an original song in Laz-Mingrelain written by Mircan Kaya with musicians of different ethnic origins like Bosnian , Georgian, Laz-Mingrelian, Kurdish,Turkish and British. The songs have been interpreted by full participation and contribution of all the musicians on the album in a unique way and sound bringing together and blending the opposites of east-west, local-global, national-international
 
MINOR is a humanistic and peaceful album based on respecting and treasuring cultural diversity, foreign languages, local cultures and its riches, and different life styles.
It will help its audience to be tolerant, be perspective, and give them a different kind of sensitivity regarding the diversities of life, along with an understanding of the society that we live in.
