Danae Palaka is an Istanbul-based artist who utilizes drums as her main medium of sound. Born in Athens to a musical family that partially hails from Istanbul, she relocated there to explore her heritage and the city. Her drumming style blends Anatolian and Balkan rhythms with Afrobeat, UK jazz, and electronic music while her artistic vision is rooted in the belief that rhythm can serve as a bridge between tradition & present. Her debut album, Velox, released by A.F.O.M. INT, captures memories, rhythmic complexity, and sonic textures through the synergy of drum kit and analog synthesizers.
