Not only the band name is martial. In their "paranoid prog-punk-jazz performance", the band KUHN FU of guitarist, composer and master of ceremonies, Christian Kühn, turns everything through the improvisational wolf. Zappa meets cabaret, surf sounds and metal riffs ride the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, while Shakespeare, Brecht and Monty Python are the godfathers.

On tour since 2012, with 8 albums, over 400 shows in 23 countries and counting.

A place filled with vitality but also darkness; fusing traditional Turkish music with free improvisations. With his brand new all-Turkish quartet, he draws us into an immersive musical universe that transcends time and place.
