Michelle Gurevich black background

Michelle Gurevich

Canadian singer-songwriter

Michelle Gurevich’s song, “Kiss in Taksim Square,” is celebrated as a protest anthem dedicated to the 2013 Gezi Park protests in Turkey. The daughter of a Kirov ballerina from Odessa and an engineer from Leningrad, Gurevich grew up listening to her parents’ collection of Soviet and 70s European records. With shows regularly selling out in cities like Istanbul, Berlin, Warsaw, and Athens, Gurevich has established a niche that includes the East European diaspora, the Berlin queer scene, and those with a taste for the melodramatic balladry of Charles Aznavour, Zeki Müren, and Nikolai Slichenko.
