Biography
Saka received art training in Istanbul and later music training in France and (Germany). He had to leave Turkey in 1980, after the coup for political reasons.

Saka still divides most of his time between Istanbul, Hamburg, and Paris and tours several countries with his Fuat Saka International Group consisting of German, American, Georgian, and Azerbaijani musicians. He is of also Georgian descent by his mother.[2] He has performed with Greek musicians Nikos Papazoglou and Dionysis Savvopoulos since the mid-1980s.[3]
