Şahmaran lives in the land between the great rivers — Mesopotamia — where myth and memory interlace. It’s here that Mikaji’s path led him to the spirit of the half-woman, half-snake — a being whispered through centuries of desert wind. The song is built around a sample from Turkish folk master Ahmet “Haci” Tekbilek, which Mikaji weaves into his signature production, creating a sound that feels both ancient and new — half serpent, half human. Şahmaran marks not only Mikaji’s eighth single this year, but also another chapter toward his forthcoming album 1001— a collection tracing his journey through lands where rhythm and legend share the same breath.
