about
Ziya Ertekin (born Oss, The Netherlands, 1969) is a Dutch musician, songwriter and DJ. Ertekin rose to fame as a collector of 78 RPM records, released in the 1920s to 1950s. Under his DJ moniker, Blue Flamingo, he spins original 78 RPM shellac records, using an original 1958 Garrard 4HF record player and a 15-Watt Fender '57 Deluxe tube amplifier. As Blue Flamingo, Ertekin released several compilation and DJ LPs. In 2020 Ertekin made his long overdue début as an actual musician, songwriter and singer. His début single, 'My Kandyan Shirt', was initially released under his own name, Ziya Ertekin. He then seemed to change his mind: 'Predator's Ball' and 'Boom Nama Gan Gan' were credited to Blue Flamingo, with 'My Kandyan Shirt' being re-located to Blue Flamingo's profile on Spotify.
