Santi & Tugce:

It's clear that monotonous narratives no longer work in today's world of change and chaos. We need new stories to fill this void, connect with a common vision, and inspire us. Santi and Tuğçe are here to bring brand-new legends to the present day through music, a language that speaks directly to the heart.

Santi (from Asunción, Paraguay) and Tuğçe (from Istanbul, Turkey) have been travel companions and music partners for over a decade. After living in the United States for many years, they moved to Berlin. Both brought together a vibrant mosaic of inspiration and ideas from around the world: emotional melodies, colorful instrumentation, otherworldly harmonies, and surgically designed dance floor rhythms. They have performed at major electronic and world music festivals, clubs, and concert halls in Europe, Asia, North, and South America, receiving widespread acclaim worldwide.
