At 1990, the first private TV channel of Turkey: Star 1 was opened where previously the only tv channel you could see was the government ran TRT. Let's consider this a turning point because if you lived in Turkey in the 90s, you know what a crazy period it was. The golden age of pop, the era of sexual liberation and the queer innuendo that no one could confess. Coming out of a magical decade of melodical richness, emotional drama and innocent romanticism: the 80s , adorned with legendary singers and songwriters such as Ajda Pekkan, Sezen Aksu, Nilfer and many many others; the country went into the frenzy of what would be maybe the most colorful decade of their whole lifetime even when looking back from this day. The music scene was booming with dance beats and video clips and it has never been that diverse until then; with the surge of dozens of artists from different parts and all social classes of the country. Songs created then, abundant with imported house and breaky tunes from Europe and U.S. , with no-name producers: the secret heroes of 90s have bombed the public with irresistible dancing energy.
This is the time that we, the Harem of No One, the only Turkish, Kurdish and
middle-eastern performer community of London, want to take you to ! We are
back at the Glory for a Sunday show for the first time and with our biggest
roster yet. La Primadonna, the cabaret chameleon, none other than Cazeleon
whom we missed so much, is back from the down under with many tales to tell
that we're so curious of. Recently out of their Eurovision-themed
performances at our takeover with Lady Ol: the singer sisters Darlink Dick
and Tahini Molasses are preparing brand new shows to celebrate the Golden Age
of Pop ! Sissy Sis, the Queen of Drama - but not a drama queen - will be
presenting you the theatrical beauty of the 90s with a nod to the World
Theaters Day - 27th March ! Joining to the Harem of No One for the first time
are two very talented, sweet and beautiful women! The first: Shekerpr a.k.a.
Beste Kseolu is getting ready to finally bless us with her honey-dripping
voice and the other Zubupole, a pole dancer youve probably never met quite
one like. Toby Kind will be once again behind the decks, playing only the
best and the most memorized songs of the infamous decade !
We will create the most colorful event we ever did with many surprises but it
also falls on you to bring your best 90s looked that you missed wearing or
never could wear. Hit the charity shops, the vintage markets or your parents
closets; Let's summon this crazy decade and raise it from its ashes into the
basement floor of the Glory !
For our turkish-speaker audience we also recommend you start following the
podcast "Yine Yeni Yeniden
90'lar" created by lker Hepkaner and Sezgin nceel who are good friends!
The podcast series explores the music history of the '90s and beyond under
queer spotlight from a cultural studies perspective.
Harem of No One is a queer collective of performers of Turkish, Kurdish and
Middle-Eastern heritages but absolutely anyone is welcome and encouraged to
join and have fun with us.

allies. We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards homophobia, transphobia,
