Fuat Saka

Fuat Saka (born 1952 in Trabzon, Turkey), is a Turkish singer, songwriter, arranger, guitarist (although he may be more precisely called a multi-instrumentalist), who defines his music as "jazz in Laz". Saka is of Laz descent. Saka received art training in İstanbul, and later music training in France and Germany. He had to leave Turkey in 1980, after the coup for political reasons. He lived in Europe up until 1998, travelling and collaborating with numerous musicians. Saka still divides most of his time between İstanbul, Hamburg and Paris; and tours several countries with his band Fuat Saka International Group consisting of German, American, Georgian and Azerbaijani musicians.
