DÜNYA launches its 9th year with 2 new double CD releases, a new logo, a new website as well as new facebook, myspace and bandcamp pages! Now it is possible to purchase DÜNYA CDs and DVDs as well as download individual songs and/or full length albums.
We are also happy to announce that one of DÜNYA’s double CDs recorded by Grammy nominated engineer John Weston, entitled A Story of the City: Constantinople, Istanbul is currently submitted for a Grammy award. This special CD production not only has an important message but also features a largely Boston-based cast of 35 DÜNYA musicians. Please help us get the word around about this project in order to secure our place in the Grammy finals.
We would like to recognize with gratitude the contributions of the DÜNYA staff, members of the DÜNYA advisory board, and our financial supporters, without whom none of these accomplishments would have been possible.
