Kadir ‚Amigo’ Memis

Centuries old rhythms meet urban beats. Using his own biography as the starting point, Amigo tries to re-approach a tradition from his homeland which is totally unknown here. He travelled to Turkey in order to be trained by masters of the Zeybek rite. The traditional dance of the Zeybeks serves as an allegory for his origin from a village in western Anatolia, while hip-hop stands for his identity in urban Berlin.
