Our Take

BABA ZULA's latest album, Kizil Gozlum, is a delightful swirl of traditional Turkish sounds with a modern twist. The Istanbul-based band has been blending psychedelic rock, folk, and electronica for over two decades, and their expertise shines bright on this eclectic record.

From the opening track, "Kizil Gozlum," with its hypnotic rhythms and haunting vocals, it's clear that BABA ZULA is not your average band. The musicianship is top-notch, with intricate arrangements and unexpected twists and turns keeping the listener on their toes.

Tracks like "Oksurryorum" and "Nayim Geldi" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend traditional Turkish instruments like the saz and darbuka with futuristic synth sounds. It's a heady mix that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

But it's not all serious business with BABA ZULA. The band injects a healthy dose of playfulness into their music, with lighthearted tracks like "Bakma Kardeşim" and "Gerekli Şeyler" keeping things fun and fresh.

Overall, Kizil Gozlum is a must-listen for fans of world music, psychedelia, or anyone looking for something a bit different. BABA ZULA proves once again that they are masters of their craft, pushing boundaries and creating music that is as innovative as it is enjoyable. Don't sleep on this one, folks.

BaBa ZuLa

BABA ZULA: The Psychedelic Mavericks of Istanbul Hailing from the vibrant streets of Istanbul, BABA ZULA is not your average music act. With their unique blend of traditional Turkish music, psychedelic rock, and electronica, this group has been pushing musical boundaries for over two decades. Led by Murat Ertel's hypnotic vocals and saz (a Turkish stringed instrument) stylings, BABA ZULA creates a sound that is both familiar and otherworldly. Their live performances are a sight to behold, as they incorporate dazzling visuals, belly dancers, and even a giant inflatable brain into their shows. Despite their unconventional approach, BABA ZULA has garnered international acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Their pioneering spirit has earned them a reputation as one of the most innovative bands in Turkey's music scene. Their latest album, "Derin Derin," is a sonic journey that explores themes of love, nature, and spirituality. Tracks like "Kızıl Gözlüm" and "Salıncak" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend Eastern and Western influences, creating a sound that is at once nostalgic and forward-thinking. In a world of cookie-cutter pop stars and formulaic hits, BABA ZULA stands out as a true original. With their infectious energy and boundary-pushing sound, this band is a must-see for any music lover looking to discover something truly unique. So, grab your saz and get ready to embark on a musical adventure with BABA ZULA. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
