Santi & Tuğçe Santi & Tuğçe’s music is eclectic and innovative, wit… Santi & Tuğçe’s music is eclectic and innovative, with smooth, soulful melodies set to Global, Afro-Latin and Electronic dance floor rhythms. It is a sonic adventure that takes you all the way from a little town on the coast of the Black Sea to the shores of the Parana River. As Sounds and Colours magazine describes it, “it is a deeply sensual experience, one that is felt beyond the mind, and eyes; it playfully leaves you with a sense of the inexplicable, and fills you with wonder”. Santi (from Asunción, Paraguay) & Tuğçe (from Istanbul, Turkey) have performed live in the US, Brazil, Costa Rica and Paraguay, and collaborated on three albums: Cíclico (2014), Songs for Another Day (2015), and El Regreso del Gallito (2016). Their latest album was released by Frente Bolivarista in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and received wide critical acclaim. Thump Vice Brazil noted that with El Regreso del Gallito, “Santi & Tuğçe rewrote Paraguayan folklore” and Red Bull Music Academy Panamérika lauded it as a great production. Currently residing in the U.S., Santi & Tuğçe have a new album planned for 2017. Santi Santi (Santiago Ferreira) is a Paraguay-born, US-based musician, producer and software engineer. His passion for music began with recordings. As a kid, Santi would spend hours listening to the radio, record the tunes he liked and make mixtapes. He started recording his own songs at age 12. In high school, he studied with Uruguayan musician Horacio Cordeiro who taught him classical and jazz guitar as well as music theory. After high school, he studied voice, piano, and sound technology at IPAC (Instituto Professional de Artes y Ciencias de la Comunicación) in Asunción, Paraguay. He completed his college degree in music composition, voice, and computer science. Santi’s music draws upon various influences: Afro-Latin Percussion, Western Classical Composition, Jazz Harmonization, and digital sound design. Tuğçe Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, Tuğçe (Tuğçe Kurtiş) grew up with a love for music, especially music performance. At age 6, she joined the school choir and started singing. Since then, she performed in countless occasions in Turkey, the US, Brazil, Costa Rica and Paraguay. Tuğçe studied voice, ear training, jazz vocals, and West-African drumming with percussionist Milford Graves and singer & songwriter Sheila Jordan among others. Various listeners have remarked that her voice is “ethereal”, “something ancient, calling from the primeval darkness of fairytale.” Tuğçe’s musical interests cross genres and continents. In addition to singing and recording in multiple languages, Tuğçe collaborates with Santi in song-writing and musical production. As the founder of the Kybele project, she develops opportunities for greater collaboration and broader inclusion of artists from around the world.

I am far
From what I know
Seeking the gold
I'm losing my mind
All your words
Have died in the sun
In my skin
The battle is lost
And I see I see I see your eyes
Are calling me back
And I know I know I know myself
I'll be wandering again
I'm opening doors
I'm trying new drugs
Breaking the ground
I'm testing the depths
I'm searching a land that's already gone
I'm losing confidence inside my voice
I'm singing a song that's already death
I'm dying, I'm wasting away
And I see I see I see your eyes
Are calling me back
And I know I know I know myself
I'll be wondering again
And I see I see I see your eyes
Are calling me back
And I know I know I know myself
I'll be wandering again
Writing on the wall
Golden string
Just a glimpse
I want it oh oh
I want it oh oh
Writing on the wall
Golden string
Just a glimpse
I want it oh oh
I want it oh oh
And I see I see I see your eyes
Are calling me back
And I know I know I know myself
I'll be wandering again
And I see I see I see your eyes
Are calling me back
And I know I know I know myself
I'll be wandering again
I want it oh oh
I want it oh oh
And I know I know myself, I'll be wandering again
In "The One" by Santi & Tuğçe, the lyrics speak of a struggle to find oneself and a constant search for fulfillment. The singer feels lost and distant from what they know, seeking happiness and satisfaction through different means such as chasing wealth or experimenting with drugs. The battle is lost within themselves, as they feel they are not achieving what they desire. The golden string is a metaphor for something that is elusive and desired, which they catch just a glimpse of but cannot grasp fully. The singer sees their eyes, perhaps those of a loved one, calling them back and reminding them of who they truly are.
The song reflects the human condition of feeling lost and searching for meaning in life. It speaks to the idea of achieving success and material wealth, only to realize that it does not bring true happiness or fulfillment. The lyrics suggest that it is important to remember one's true self and not get caught up in the chase for external satisfaction.
I am far
I am physically and/or emotionally distant from where I want to be
From what I know
Despite my knowledge and experience, I still feel lost and uncertain
Seeking the gold
I am searching for something valuable and meaningful
I'm losing my mind
I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed to the point of mental exhaustion
All your words
Whatever was said to me in the past
Have died in the sun
Those words have faded away and are no longer relevant
In my skin
I am experiencing this struggle personally
The battle is lost
I have been defeated and am facing the consequences
And I see I see I see your eyes
I am reminded of someone who has had an influence on me
Are calling me back
Their memory is urging me to return to a certain place or time
And I know I know I know myself
Despite external pressures, I am confident in my ability to find my way
I'll be wandering again
I will continue to explore and try new things
I'm opening doors
I am taking risks and seeking opportunities
I'm trying new drugs
I am experimenting with new experiences, perhaps dangerous ones
Breaking the ground
I am pushing boundaries and challenging expectations
I'm testing the depths
I am exploring the depths of my capabilities and limitations
I'm searching a land that's already gone
I am chasing something that no longer exists or is unattainable
I'm losing confidence inside my voice
I am doubting my own abilities and power
I'm singing a song that's already death
I am repeating what has already been said and done, with no new creativity
I'm dying, I'm wasting away
I am losing vitality and purpose
Writing on the wall
I am observing signs and signals that suggest something important
Golden string
I am chasing something valuable and meaningful
Just a glimpse
I have only caught a brief glance of what I am searching for
I want it oh oh
I desire this thing with intense passion
And I know I know myself, I'll be wandering again
I am confident in my ability to navigate the unknown, and will continue to do so
