Meyhané is an ensemble of Melbourne-based musicians passionate about performing traditional music from Anatolia, The Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean.

The Melbourne event coincides with the International Hrant Dink Awards in Istanbul. http://www.hrantdinkodulu.org/

The awards are presented to people who work for a world free of discrimination, racism and violence.

Two awards are presented annually.

One of the 2018 Award winners in 2018, MURAT ÇELIKKAN said:

“It is the struggle for human rights that will light the torch of hope against hopelessness, not only in Turkey but in the entire world.”
