As a 65 yrs old Turk, I did live every moment of that era. I even worked with one of the bands showed in this documentary. I did not even know such a documentary was exist. Thank you for making this video and bring it in attention. I did enjoy every second of it. Those days were the most beautiful part of the history of Turkish music. But very rarely we do witness such a band comes ever again. This applies to whole world music. Thanks again ❤
Barış Manço wasnt really an Elvis impersonator like the guys in USA, wearing same clothes and singing Elvis songs.Just his style and inspiration was very similar -Elvislike- until Anatolian Psychedelic came up. Old school rock n roll.
sonradan o kimliğe sahip oldu. ilk dönemleri çok fazla batılı müzisyenden beslendi ve kendi kimliğini buldu. çok gençti başka iyi müzisyenlerden etkilenmesi normaldi.. eğer arştırma yaparsan sadece onlardan etkilenmedi ingilizce olarak onların şarkılarını da coverladığı oldu.
The real Elvis impersonator in Turkish music was the late Erol Büyükburç 😄. Make no mistake he was also a great singer, it was kinda like his gimmick especially in his early years. He wrote all his own songs and didn't steal songs from other foreign singers like some other Turkish singers
I usually get stressed about the 80s in Turkish history. But I rather enjoyed this. This was nicely done. Well done to the original maker of the documentary and thank you sir, for reacting to this. Respect...
Anatolian rock revival has not started in 2000s with gaye su akyol or altın gün. İt starts in 1993 with Haluk Levent. Just listen Kağızman ör Akşamlar. People forgot easily. He was the one who built the road for Şebnem Ferah or others in 90s.
3:51 Ottoman Traditional Music was never banned, plus there's no such thing called traditional Ottoman Music. There were various music genres during the time of the Ottoman Empire. Turkish classical music which derives from the Sufi Tasavvuf music still continues to be performed to this day although lost it's popularity a lot in the recent years. Anatolian Rock took it's main inspiration from the Turkish Folk Music as the name suggests
The banning of Anatolian rock music was related to the fact that the musical style represented a trend during the difficult political years of Turkey. There is no such concern today. Music of all styles is free and people are listening. However, as the country's founding ideology deviated in the 1980s, it was a precaution to protect the founding ideology (republic). But it didn't succeed. There are sometimes ridiculous bans in Turkey, but they don't last long. The founding ideology initially banned folk music and supported western-style music, but this was misunderstood by some officials. In fact, they misunderstood what Atatürk wanted to do and followed a very wrong westernization policy. These policies were generally determined by the army until 2015. Many bans were lifted when the military's influence on the administration waned. It goes without saying that the discussions other than this will be political debates.
12 September 1980 military coup fvcked everything in Turkey. I have to mention that it was again an American gladio backed coup against Turkish independence and progress just like the CIA backed failed coup attempt of 15 July 2016. I remember that US also intervene Canadian politics in 70's also.. If im not mistaken even a national made Canadian fighter programme had been completely destroyed for political matters and Canada had to bought US F18's instead of her own.
Dude! I'm wondering what your reaction would be to this young musician : Evrencan Gündüz. He recently released an album called "Anadolu Funk" translation:"Anatolia Funk." His dad was a great guitarist called Asım Can Gündüz. He was well known in America as "Awesome John" (cuz they couldn't pronounce his name. 😂) Give his sons' songs a listen please and let us know what you think. There's a lot of colabs Evrencan has done and he sang some English songs as well. A great artist himself.
He didn't literally impersonate Elvis, what he means is that he looked up on Elvis at the beginning of his career, just like John Lennon and many more. He never impersonated Elvis, there is no clip or video. It's a figure of speech because he had a similar hair and clothing at the very beginning of his career for a single photoshoot.
11:20 boss, be sure Turkish youth were more free back in the days 60’s and 70’s if we compare with today, military coop f.cked up everything in 1980 12:20 Aşık Veysel passed away 51 years ago today, and guess what? My parents were born 10 km away to his village, he is legend of Turkish folk music who inspire 70’s anatolian folk rock scene 15:45 Selda Bağcan was on stage of Primavera Barcelona festival couple years ago, i was waiting for Radiohead’s live stream on youtube, then Selda was on stage, i was really surprised, she has become popular again on Europe in last 10 years after anatolian rock music being popular 19:00 as u can see, very famous singers use samples from 70’s Turkish Anatolian Rock Music scene, this was from Selda too😊
You're right, it looks like a typical Middle Eastern country today. Turkey used to be much more modern, much more beautiful. The country is in a mess because of bad politicians.
I'm not agree with 90s-00s turkish rock was western at all. They werent anatolian yet unique by theirselves. Mor ve ötesi, Şebnem Ferah, Athena were really great and because of them rock was ruled again.
Bu ekibin içinde Duman olmazsa olmaz. Hatta Athena'dan çok daha fazla Anadolu rock'a yakındır politik tavrı ve sözleriyle. Athena hep bir eğlence grubu oldu. Bir de Kurban'ımız var Deniz bey sağolsun mundar etti. Yoksa içinden geçerdi piyasanın.
Mor ve Ötesi is alternative rock, thats a totally different genre my friend, its generally known they were influenced by Radiohead and Muse. Athena is ska punk.
@@Gunzo780 Biliyorum 😂 Ben de bunlar anadolu rock grubu demiyorum. Hiçbirinin müziği de birbirinin aynı değil. Farklı türlerin temsilcileri. Ana yoruma cevaben, Kaan'ın arabeskvari vokalinden dolayı ve bazı coverlarından dolayı anadolu rock sounduna daha yakın olduğundan bahsettim.
it is possible to say baris manco is inspired from many people or bands even from pink floyd to elvis presley. but you cannot say he is inpersonating someone. baris manco has his own unique style. and thanks for the great reaction to this documentary. it doesnt tell anything wrong. we were inside this experiencing every bit of it.
Sad fact: Everything is still the same these days too, just the people are "less smart" because of not looking after real informations to educate themselves about a culture but watching stereotypical dicriminative news instead to call themselves educated.
12:18 "Aşık" means like a bard or a minstrel which is a hundreds of years tradition among the Anatolian Turks. Most of the those"Aşıks" come from Alevites(a Muslim religious minority which is a branch of Shia Islam, they are mostly Turkmens)
Although i love Rock music, but as a musician the truth about evolution of the music is changing so often but also creating new cults/generations which impacts the culture and society. Thus I do not listen music and i rare play with my guitar which I used to enjoy hearing appluases when i was on the stage. I now feel new generation musics disgusting to me never turn on a radio channel in my car. I am more optimistic than before I just listen relax musics, instrumental, classic, solo musics. I give little tolerance to listen old Turkish rocks and 90's pop musics. Thanks for the video bud.
bu değerli sanatçıların yaşlanması,ölmesi sonrası bu tür şarkılar azaldı,yerini arabesk aldı.sanat müziğiyle birlikte arap müziğine teslim olduk.90 larda müzik yapanlar da,bu işi beceremediler,hep arap ezgilerini kullandılar.halk müziğimiz ezgiileri çok fazla ve yöresel türde çoktur.halk müziğini kurtaran ve geliştiren Aşıklar ve Anadoludan çıkan sanatçılardır.Karadenizli sanatçıların bölge halk müziğiyle yaptıkları Anadolu rock ön lana çıktı.çok güzel şarkılar ürettiler.diğer bölgelerden bu tür şarkılar çıkmadı fakat türküler çok güzel türkü ürettiler.şu anda Anadolu rock sanatçısı bir kaç tane var.genelde şarkı söyleyenler günlük ünlü oluyor,kalıcılık yok.sanat müziği mısır müziğinin kendimize göre uyarlanması.bitti artık.halk müziğinin renklerini,şivesi,nağmeleri çok güzel bu güzelliği çeşiti nasıl görmüyorlar anlayamıyorum.
Hello , i wish youre ok rob , This video is weird as hell for me , and i guess it summerized totally realy important points like the era of cazz 35 -55 , on bosphorus american ships and night life in istanbul and the great musician migration , after that we got not just 1 type of music but its all cultivated as disintegrate the anatolian soul ... You would find lots of italian , french and english songs turkish versions and some people in Turkey financed that type of music for degenerate the culture , Anatolian rock scene is not supported like the others unlike the video says , there was a tv program called siyaset meydanı '' political arena '' in 90's Barış Manço tryed to explain some things in that program about that degeneration project and then we assume that they killed him... He was a great guy , great soul and still an inspiration for lot's of people... Btw Altın Gün is a mixed dutch+turkish band and they are great too ...
I suggest you to little look at "blue blues band" it is very very talented group in close era turkish rock history. There is a already have a documentary about the band and yavuz çetin which is solist of this band.
altın gün and gaye su akyol are great. it's great to see that the old school culture moves on. i love anatolia and my man, you will understand how come we do these great songs if you come here and see anatolia.
Hey Rob there ain't none videos of Barıs Manço imping Elvis because he never did. I knew him personally, as much as he appreciated the King, I have never seen him impersonating Elvis or someone else whatsoever. As you might think he never had to, because he is too much of a personality himself already no?
Turkish music history exist since 1000 years as military bands ,folkmusic, mistic music and classic Turkish music oldest military music Turkish armys and classic Türkish mussic mixed with Turkish ,Syrani,Armanian .greece and arabic music after 1930 year classic Eurupean music devoleped in Turkey and 1960-70 years golden years of Turkish pop music and also arabesk music arbaesk music is mixed of arabic and turkish musics mistic Turkish music separated 2 part one of it alawi folk and derwish musics
This video is not about turkish phsychedelic rock actually, if you wanna talk about turkish phsychedelic rock there is one and only "Erkin Koray" :) he was the one who able to connect with other dimensions and maybe parallel universes ;)
What is missing from this documentary is Ahmet Kaya who is legendary protest singer of Turkey who played a pivotal role in the restart of Anatolian rock after a military coup, with his songs ‘başım belada,’ ‘kadınlar,’ and ‘içimde ölen biri.’ These songs left a profound impact on Anatolian rock, cherished by the new generations.
Hey man. I do not know english. but maybe you can express what you are talking about with a subtitle. And I must tell you that Turkey is a country that listens to all kinds of songs. And what we call arabesque is not an arabic song. I recommend you the beautiful pop songs of your father Müslüm. Everyone has been listening to this song lately, especially due to the pandemic. Teoman sang the original song of this song. And it became a classic song of the 90s. Müslüm Gürses reinterpreted this song in the early 2000s. Müslüm Baba is a legend. The name of the song is very bad in English. Turkish paramparça
Arabesque is decadent music. It's not even music. All those who used it for commercial reasons were wiped out of the market. Zerrin Özer, Yeliz, Teoman, Duman and now Mosso will share the same end.
Müziğe başladığı ilk yıllarında Elvis Presley şarkılarını Elvis gibi söylediği için taklitçi demeleri doğru. Bu tarzda yapılan kayıtları da mevcut. Zamanla kendi tarzını geliştiriyor ve bildiğimiz sevdiğimiz Barış Manço oluyor.
