Modern Turkish music

And here is the rap song:

I see you started the thread - I hope you get a good response!

Thanks

And this lady was in the "Voice of Germany" 2021 competition.  

Well, there is a band from Turkey that I like but it is different from what you've been engaged in. They use traditional Turkish instrument but with electronic effects. They play Turkish folk psychedelic with projected images and belly dancers. They're 'Baba Zula' from Istanbul.

Thanks for letting me know.  I will check them out.  If you have a favorite of theirs, please add it here to this thread :-)

Thanks

Here's their website; https://www.babazula.com/

 'Gecekondu' is consistently good throughout. 'Cecom' is one of my favorite songs and here's the video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPzJ58DRZ5U

Interesting.  I never knew they existed LOL.  Very different genre.  I would never have guessed.

Thanks for pointing them out.

In the meantime, I also discovered this in Turkish pop.  It really affected me.  It is a very simple melody but emotionally it affected me quite a bit.  You can feel the woman's pain coming right through the music.

This guy is also very interesting.  I heard that in his videos, everything you see represents something symbolic in life.  Very interesting to watch:  His screen name is Mabel Matiz.

This is quite dramatic with an amazing melody:

A guy with an incredible range:

"interesting" to say the least by a Turkish performer sung in English :) The music is kid pop but is actually nice:

This is an incredibly beautiful and sad song about how to continue loving someone in sickness nearing death.  Unfortunately, the subtitles are apparently way off in translation.

Check out Saran's music selections over at 6moons.com. His tastes venture all around those regions and it might be up your alley. You might also like Antakya by Quadro Nuevo, one of my all time favorite artists.

All the best,

@nonoise 

Thanks for the suggestions.  I will definitely try them :-)

@nonoise 

I listened to Quadro Nuevo. They are quite different and very nice. Thanks for the suggestion :-)

@cakyol ,

Yes, there's something about that group and the way they play together. I took a CD of theirs over to the owner of a high end audio saloon that I know who played in an orchestra and he just smiled all the way through it, saying "these guys are having fun." 

All the best,
Nonoise

I do love Turkish music, I think Turkish language is very expressive and full of emotions, and very musical. Loads of drama, and great mix between oriental and occidental influences.

@rolox 

I have been enjoying a lot of the music too.  Some of them are very orchestral & musical.

If you know any good pieces, please put the youtube links here into this thread.

Thanks

This is another beautiful sad instrumental song.... amazing:

Another absolutely gorgeous song:

Another very melodic one:

Another great one from this lady...  She is phenomenal.

One with a happy rythm:

One of the most beautiful soundtracks from a very addictive but tragic series:

Another fantastic beautiful song:

I discovered this the other day.  I could listen to it over & over again:

Just today, I discovered another beautiful song by Ziynet Sali:

INCREDIBLE saz solo:
