The group GÖNÜLDEN GÖNÜLE (FROM HEART TO HEART) is part of a bigger musical assembly which has been dealing with turkish music, both folk music and old music - so called otoman court music. All of the members are professionals and most of them are lecturers or instrument teachers in musical high schools. The little group of 5 members has played in many foreign and domestic programs for about four years but its special performance is when they accompanied folk dance groups in many occasions, shows, festivals. The group has created an album containing folk songs from North-East Turkey. Its name is SEVGILIYE (TO THE SWEETHEART) and it is performed under the artistic management of KAZIM GÜRKAN who is also Tar and Saz player and the vocal solist of the group.

 
Grupul de muzicieni GÖNÜLDEN GÖNÜLE (rom. De la inimă la inimă) face parte dintr-o formaţie mai numeroasă, al cărei repertoriu se concentrează pe muzica turcească autentică, fie ea populară sau muzică veche, numită şi muzică otomană de curte. Membrii grupului sunt muzicieni profesionişti şi cei mai mulţi dintre ei predau muzică, atît teorie cît şi instrumente, în colegii. Cei cinci muzicieni prezenţi la ASTRA FILM au susţinut concerte în ţara lor şi în străinătate şi au acompaniat grupuri de dansuri populare în numeroase ocazii. Grupul semnează un album de cîntece din NE Turciei, intitulat SEVGILIYE (rom. Iubitei), realizat sub conducerea artistică a lui KAZIM GÜRKAN, care cîntă la instrumentele vechi cu coarde numite tar si saz şi este şi solistul vocal al grupului.

TURKEY, THE UNKNOWN NEIGHBOUR

In Romania, kids learn about the battles fought - and won - by the Romanians against the Turks. Turkish kids obviously use different history schoolbooks, and it is most likely that they know little about Romania, if anything at all. So, let us forget everything we thought we knew about Turkey, about its culture and its people. Astra Film Festival 2009 presents an attractive selection of five documentaries, each of them approaching, in its own style, a country so close to Romania’s history and geography. The live Turkish music will enrich the special program dedicated to Turkey, in an attempt to discover the yet unknown neighbouring country. 

VECINUL NECUNOSCUT - TURCIA

Copiii romani invata despre bataliile castigate de romani impotriva turcilor, in timp ce copiii turci au cu siguranta  versiuni diferite in manualele de istorie. Probabil ei stiu foarte putin sau chiar deloc de Romania. Astra Film Festival 2009 prezinta o atractiva selectie de 5 filme documentare, fiecare din ele, in stilul specific, prezentand o tara cu o geografie si o istorie aproapiate de ale Romaniei. Muzica turceasca live va imbogati programul special dedicat Turciei, in incercarea de a descoperi tara vecina necunoscuta, inca.
