Description

" THE ANATOLIAN THUNDER! " --- FRANCE INTER ---.Grup Simsek: a fresh and modern pop group that blends Anatolian folk music and contemporary grooves, not without injecting a dose of psychedelia sometimes tinged with progressive rock. Led by Derya Yildirim’s hypnotic vocals and majestic baglama (Turkish lute), Grup Simsek elegantly combines the Turkish traditional repertoire and its own songs, with a strong sonic identity and an energy that is as moving as it is danceable. On June 25, 2021, Derya Yilidrim & Grup Simsek are set to release 'Dost', the collective’s second album and the first part of a diptych to be released this year. Grup Simsek: a fresh and modern super-quintet, offering an electrified set of Turkish music, danceable and moving. Blending Anatolian tradition and contemporary grooves, the band readily flirts with 70s psychedelic sounds, Jazz or Funk. Led by Derya Yildirim’s vocals and Saz, a young musician of rare charisma, Grup Simsek brings a fresh and unprecedented breath to gems of Turkish popular music (artists such as Selda Bagcan, Baris Manço or Özdemir Erdogan); but also expresses its originality through beautiful compositions and a certain mastery of improvisation. One of the rare current bands to offer such a mix around the Turkish repertoire." DERYA YILDIRIM’S POWERFUL VOICE, FILLED WITH EMOTION CARRIED BY THUNDER.
