Description

THE ANATOLIAN PSYCH-POP REVELATION! 4 GEMS WITH A WARM, ENCHANTING SOUND, WHERE TURKISH FOLKLORE, GROOVE, DANCE AND ELECTRIC THRILLS COME TOGETHER! Grup Simsek: a fresh and modern super-quintet, offering an electrified set of Turkish music that is danceable and moving. Blending traditional Anatolian sounds with contemporary grooves, the group readily flirts with 70's psychedelic sounds, Jazz and Funk. Led by the vocals and Saz of Derya Yildirim, a young musician of rare charisma, Grup Þimþek brings a fresh and unprecedented breath to gems of Turkish popular music (artists such as Selda Baðcan, Barýþ Manço or Özdemir Erdoðan); but also expresses its originality through beautiful compositions and a certain mastery of improvisation. One of the rare current groups to offer such a mix around the Turkish repertoire. Pop music in Turkey, unlike Western Pop, draws on "traditionalized" repertoires and constantly reinvents new interpretations of them. Grup Simsek propels the poetic richness of this culture into the future, while keeping in mind the legacy of the artists of the past.
