The title of the album and performance, (The Cry of the Kemane), perfectly captures the mood of this rendition.
Cafer Nazlıbaş 's live performance of "" (literally "We Will Be Consumed/Exhausted") is an instrumental reimagining of a legendary Turkish pop song originally written and performed by Sezen Aksu . The Context and Story
Nazlıbaş is known for bridging the gap between traditional folk instruments and modern Anatolian pop/classical sounds. This specific performance is celebrated for how it translates the lyrical desperation of Aksu’s poetry into the haunting, "moaning" timbre of the kemane. The Instrument: Kabak Kemane
Cafer Nazlıbaş's live version was recorded during his album launch concert at the Borusan Müzik Evi on December 12, 2013. Without lyrics, he uses the Kabak Kemane —a traditional Turkish spiked fiddle—to "sing" the melody, mimicking the human voice's "feryad" (cry or lament).
The "story" is also one of cultural heritage. The instrument Nazlıbaş plays is a descendant of the ancient Central Asian rebab. In this performance, he utilizes its unique vertical playing style—where the instrument is rotated against the bow—to create the deep, vibrating textures that give "Tükeneceğiz" its melancholy weight.
The original song by Sezen Aksu is a poignant ballad about a love that is slowly fading away despite both parties' efforts. It speaks to the inevitability of exhaustion in a relationship where the fire has died out.
