Pina Berlin by Pina Berlin
Debut album by Pina Berlin.
Pina Berlin is the solo musical project of Pinar Tatlikazan, a Turkish-German singer-songwriter, jazz vocalist and vocal coach. She represents complex cultural identities and tells of her dealings with illness and societal expectations. This is reflected in her music, where she shares a message of empowerment that she has learned during years of stubborn perseverance: how to gain strength, find joy, and believe in yourself. Inspired by her multiple identities, Pina's music invites us on a journey through the world and time between the singer-songwriter folk of the 60s, classic rock of the 70s, jazz ballads of 50s, Turkish pop of the 90s and folk fusion between Anatolian rhythms, Brazilian samba and Argentine tango, which she connects with her enchanting voice.
