No Land Concert.

The Istanbul-based music collective, No Land, which brings together musicians from diverse cultures and geographies, creates music that transcends time. Their compositions, featuring lyrics of literary merit, utilize a range of instruments including electric and acoustic guitars, bass, drums, violin, cello, and trumpet, resulting in a timeless and universally appealing sound.

In 2012, the musical project "No Land" began with the collaboration of Sahand Lesani (electric guitar), Kamil Hajiyev (vocals and violin), and Mehmet Akif Ersoy (rhythm guitar). Later, Çağatay Vural (bass guitar), Can Kalyoncu, Hazal Ekkerman, Yağız Nevzat İpek, and Oğuzcan Bilgin joined the project.

The name "No Land" originates from the film "No Man's Land," suggested by Sahand Lesani, and refers to the diverse geographies and cultures represented by its members. Over time, the band's lineup has evolved, enriching its music. The current members of No Land include Kamil Hajiyev (vocals, violin), Çağatay Vural (bass guitar), Sahand Lesani (electric guitar), Oğuz Can Bilgin (trumpet), Ege Atalay (cello), Metin Kesik (rhythm guitar), and Nihal Saruhanlı (drums).

The band's debut album, "Aramızda," released in 2016, features songs in both Azerbaijani and Turkish and primarily contains the group's early works. One of the tracks, "Niyə Belə Uzundur bu Yollar," is a composition by the esteemed Azerbaijani artist Azer Cırttan Memmedov, and has been interpreted as "No Land music - in NoLandçe." Furthermore, many of the songs on the album are written by Vugar Hasani.

The band's second album, "Pusulası Kaybolmuş," released in 2019, serves as a new announcement of the music they create, and it consists of songs with lyrics in Turkish, Azerbaijani, Persian, and Russian.
