Vinyl Record Shopping Hour & Ismail Kurt-Umer - Gider Isen [LP]

Shopping Hour – is a Ukrainian-Serbian project that creates lyrical music for the soul, filled with harmony and beauty. The main desire of the collective is to bring joy to listeners through music and enjoyment from the performance process. The name of the project originated from an unusual situation where the participants waited in line at a supermarket for a long time. Shopping Hour began its activity in 2006 at the Kofeïn studio in Kyiv, where it presented its debut album “The Worldest Music” in the spring of the same year. The first live performance of the project took place on January 19, 2008, at the “Jazzper” festival in Kharkiv.

Ismail Kurt-Umer – is a talented professional singer. His artistic journey began at the National Music Academy of Ukraine named after Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Currently, Ismail actively works in the Honored Academic Ensemble of Song and Dance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where he brings his energy and talent, delighting listeners with his performances.

Gider Isen – is an album that immerses the listener in the atmosphere of Crimean Tatar lyrical and mystical music. It combines modern sounds at the intersection of genres such as world music, lounge, jazz, and chamber academic music, creating a unique sound palette. This album is the result of collaborative work and support from the ethno-lounge project Shopping Hour GRP, adding special charm and depth to the sound.
