Tugay Basar and Timuçin Gürer founded KeKeÇa to explore Body Music as a performance medium and cross-cultural teaching tool. Moving gracefully through the rhythms and odd-time signatures of Turkish folk music, they create the sublime. They teach all ages and abilities, including several Body Music projects with deaf students. KeKeÇa successfully produced the 5th IBMF in Istanbul, Turkey, 2012, and have been deeply involved in all the festivals since the 2008.

KeKeÇa will appear at the 6th IBMF in several capacities, with company members Timuçin Gürer, Ayşe Akarsu, Gökçe Gürçay, Ezo Sunal, Özgü Bulut and special guest vocalist Sumru Ağiryürüyen.

Guest Vocalist Sumru Ağiryürüyen uses her voice and mandolin to perform in many projects all over the world, singing in styles from traditional to free improvisation, in many languages spoken in her country and abroad. As a concert and studio musician she collaborated with countless projects, released a solo album 'Issiz/Solitude,' and two Balkan albums 'Ayde Mori' and 'Balkan Journey' (Kalan); a Klezmer/Sephardic music quartet 'Klez-Mez' (Saf/EMI) and a duo album with cellist Anil Eraslan, in free improvisation style.
