Dicen que en el monte En sus sombras Moran seres que nadie vio Sola, una niña, extraviada En el bosque profundo Se encuentra rodeada de luces y caras En la madrugada Naranja, violeta, celeste, dorada Ladrones de sueños Y hacia las ramas Curiosa se adentró Brillaban sus cuerpos Temblaba el campo Sonaban sus voces En mitos y encantos Hechizos de barro De verdes galaxias Monitos y grillos Sonrisa arbolada Se roban la caña Zapatos, cigarros Viajan el mundo En nubes y rayos Nos cuentan poemas De tiempos lejanos Confunden los planos Girando, girando Cuentan que en las aguas En sus ondas Suenan cuentos que nadie oyó Sola, una niña, extraviada Entre esteros y flores Se encuentra rodeada de luces y caras En la madrugada Naranja, violeta, celeste, dorada Ladrones de sueños Y hacia las ramas Curiosa se adentró

Se Va, Se Va 07:29
Canta que todo pasa Se va y se va Las hojas al viento Los vientos al mar Los ecos de tus palabras Se van, se van Tus risas y truenos Se van, se van La tierra amaneció La luna despertó Y una vuelta mas Las formas cambiaran Canta que todo acaba Se va y se va Las nubes en aguas Las aguas en sal Tus manos y sus caminos Se van, se van Tus pasos perdidos Se van, se van

ZAMAN ZAMAN Gel hadi yine yanıma Kır çiçekleri gibi aç Baharda süslenen dallar gibi Renklerine bürün Bir pencerenin ardından Kar tanelerini izleyen Çocuklar gibi ol Bak yine ışıkla gözlerime Şu kış sabahı aydınlansın Gel hadi yanıbaşıma Alevlenmiş bir sonbaharda Toprağa uzanan yaprak gibi Uykularına dal Bir gölgenin ardından Bin ağıt yakan Aşık gibi Sadık kal umuda Öyle bir şarkı söyle ki bana Bir yaz akşamı hatırlansın English Translation: FROM TIME TO TIME Come to me, once again Bloom like wild flowers Like branches embellished in spring Wrap yourself in your colors Like children watching snowflakes from behind a window Look at my eyes, again, with a sparkle So that this winter morning brightens up Come near me, now Drift into your sleep like a leaf that lays on earth in flaring autumn Like an Ashik that writes a thousand elegies after a shadow Stay true to hope Sing me such a song that it is reminiscent of a summer evening

Dur Gitme Tut ellerimden Kopkoyu geceden Geriye kalan Bölük pörçük sözcükler Ardında bir deniz Bir kaç yalnız kuş Gökyüzüne yükselen Dur Dinle Tut ellerimden Masmavi bir günden Geriye kalan Silik sönük şekiller Ardında bir deniz Bir kaç damla yaş Yeryüzüne dökülen

ENTRE LAS LUNAS No me preguntes, me lo olvide Pocos recuerdan que alguna vez Fuimos nubes y ramas, el lodo entre tus pies Dispersos en lluvias, mezclados en mar Perdidos en cuentos, te pude encontrar Entre olas y vientos, la curva del litoral Atras, entre las lunas Aguardo tu despertar Tu voz resonará y volvere para escuchar Fuimos veranos, raices y luz Semillas curiosas soñando al sol En la tierra tus manos abiertas, buscándonos Lejana en sierras solías volar Tus alas extensas en la claridad de los cielos la orbita errante de tu mirar Atras, entre las lunas Aguardo tu despertar Tu voz resonará y volvere para escuchar (English Translation) BETWEEN THE MOONS Do not ask me, I forgot Very few remember that Once we were clouds and branches, the mud between your feet Scattered in rains, stirred in the sea Lost in stories, I could find you Between waves and winds, the curve of the coastline There, between the moons, I await your awakening Your voice will resonate and I will return to listen We were summers, roots and light Curious seeds dreaming of the sun On the earth your open hands were searching for us Far away in the mountains, you used to fly Your wide wings stretched in the clear sky The wandering orbit of your gaze There, between the moons, I await your awakening Your voice will resonate and I will return to listen

about

Santi and Tuğçe are here to weave new myths for our times in a language that most directly touches the human heart: music. Their newest full-length album “The Marvelous Real” finds this adventurous duo in their most majestic musical moment to date. Fully scored and orchestrated by Santi and co-written and co-produced with Tuğçe, “The Marvelous Real” explores the spaces between the real and the imaginary. It tells stories across time and space not only narrating “what is”, but more urgently, provoking the radical imagination of “what might be”.

The Marvelous Real” is a bold and ambitious undertaking that highlights the liminality and hybridity characteristic of both the duo’s music and their personal stories. As two artist-scientist-wanderers, one from Turkey and the other from Paraguay, who first crossed paths fifteen years ago as students in the USA and who now make a living as “professional dreamers” in Germany, Santi & Tuğçe feel strangely at home in the in-between spaces. Boundaries and borders, in music or in life at large, do not represent limits or divisions, Instead, they serve as points of contact from which new possibilities emerge.

With The Marvelous Real, Santi & Tuğçe once again reinvent themselves. Even more thoroughly than in their previous releases, the soundscape of “The Marvelous Real” bridges the many musical and cultural worlds they inhabit: electronic music, Western classical music, and jazz, enriched with melodic and rhythmic ideas from Latin America, Anatolia, the Balkans, and beyond. Each track on this album is fully composed and orchestrated, and comes alive with an international crew of virtuoso instrumentalists (piano, harp, guitars, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French horn, percussions) from Italy, Germany, Turkey, Paraguay and France, along with original lyrics and vocals in Santi & Tuğçe’s two primary languages: Spanish and Turkish.

This album is a labor of love, a journey of wonder and wonderment, that seeks to articulate the elemental truths of being: what it means to love, what it means to be mortal, what it means to live with our fragilities and our frissons - to remind us who and what we are.
