Turkish Music History Reaction - What the hell is Turkish psychedelic rock - Requested eng/turk subs

[@hadiya2179]

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 ❤

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

[@Sultan_Alparslan_HAN]

En doğru yorum. ❤

[@learnturkishlanguagesandmusic]

Yeah, all from Turkish folk music. I recommend listening to Turkish folk music. Still, Turkish rock singer uses folk music for their new type of rock songs

[@Geckotr]

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

[@elmasacarcongar9642]

He believed Elvis copied him and as a matter of fact the costumes he came up with before Elvis did 😃

[@hazarfreedom]

[@weakpenguen2024]

[@berkeercan2565]

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.

[@astroidian]

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.

[@IkadoYagami]

Baris Manco was not an Elvis impersonator. He had totally his own unique style!!!

Great video and reaction Rob. Bands and artists are starting to re-perform this genre. I think the world will know and love this genre more. .

[@halilcanakgun6114]

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.

[@BarbarosTheBarbarian]

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...

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)

[@MrSatelit28]

Here in Bosnia ašik means a man in love, or a guy who is flirting (ašikuje - verb forme of ašik) with girl. I knew it was a Turkish word, but I didn't know the real meaning 😁.

[@Jarbar36]

​@@MrSatelit28 Aşık has two meanings. One of them is explained above and the other meaning is "lover." same, actually.

[@BJK-r7]

Dönence-name of the song- means tropic, the parallel of latitude 23°26ʹ north (tropic of Cancer) or south (tropic of Capricorn) of the equator. The tropics are latitudes at two different poles of the world and they can never be together. There are two opposite poles in human nature. It is the instinct to seek what is not in oneself.

[@kanuni1979]

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.

[@xzemmyx]

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.

[@mirakaya9994]

[@SocratesAlexander]

No Turkish pop documentary is complete without mentioning the famous group "Mogollar". Their music has been used in many Turkish movies, so every Turk has an ear for them.

Kaynanalar'ın giriş müziği olarak "Anadolu Pop" albümündeki Iklığ'ı kullanan Tekin Akmansoy'un, Cahit Berkay kendisine bu müziği nereden aldığını sorduğunda bilememesi de iyi hikayedir 😁

[@batuhanduman7050]

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.

[@NAlpAr-nx1gg]

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.

[@whitekiki]

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.

[@Gunzo780]

Usta, mor ve otesi bildigin avrupa gruplarinin kopyasidir.

[@yaskamania]

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.

[@Gunzo780]

​@@yaskamania Duman amerikan grunge rock, athena ise ska punk. Bunlarin hicbiri anadolu rock yapmiyor.

[@bodoor8172]

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.

[@yaskamania]

@@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.

The 1960s generation and its productivity are unique in the world. As someone born in 1975, I say, "I wish I had been born 20 years earlier, lived in the 60s and had memories." I believe that music and art are a universal language, and the world spoke this language most beautifully in the 1960s. Old rock music has produced artistic works that are still missed all over the world, and it is impossible to achieve this quality today.

[@learnturkishlanguagesandmusic]

Anatolian Rock, this type of basically mixing Turkish folk music with rock music. Still loads of rock singer use Turkish folk mysic pieces as the base of their rock songs! I recommend you listen to folk mysic, you will fall in love!❤

[@tanerongur9720]

Rock and roll became the folk music of the planet in the 20th century, because in all parts of the planet, similar things began to happen, and the music that best responded to this situation was rock and roll.

[@BGIS2000]

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.

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 ...

[@onuraltunoz6064]

video was great but he forgot some of bests. in late 90s and early 2000s Haluk Levent, Kıraç, Murat göğebakan, and haramiler revive the anatolian rock. after that in early 2000s Barış Akarsu won music contest and made amazing impact. unfortunately he lost his life when he was 27 years old cause of car crash when his birthday. still everyone loves him. and slowly kıraç drop out, murat göğebakan died from cancer and Haluk Levent started charity organization. you should listen those names. Haluk Levent-Elfida, Kıraç-Razıysan Gel, Murat Göğebakan-Ay Yüzlüm, Haramiler-Mavi Duvar and Barış Akarsu-Islak Islak

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😊

Deniz Üstü Köpürür by Kardaşlar, not Cem Karaca & Kardaşlar, this version was recorded & released after Cem stopped working with them, the band was later named Seyhan Karabay & Kardaşlar, though he was part of the band during Cem Karaca's time as bassist, he also appears in this version, playing bass and ıklığ (a Turkish bow and string instrument). The vocalist is Ünol Büyükgönenç, who also plays guitar, and in some KZbin videos the song is credited to him (uzelli KZbin channel has his first name misspelled as "Ünal") Be sure to check out the other versions of the song, especially Cem Karaca's (there are two different takes, along with a so-called live version which is basically the same as the second take, I'll tell the history of it later if you're interested) and Edip Akbayram's original version featuring the band "Dönüşüm"

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.

[@Sultan_Alparslan_HAN]

Today, Turkiye is more modern than the past, but more backward-thinking than the civilization of 100 years ago. Because civilization is not technological progress or tools. Civilization is a worthy rise in human relations. While we were a country that had no production 30-40 years ago, today we have rapidly transformed into a country that produces the highest technology products. But in terms of civilization, we are 1000 years behind the Ottoman civilization. We have already spent the last remaining fragments of civilization from them and all we have is western technologies and crude human relations. Kemalism is a Turkish Zionist formation, not everyone in Turkiye is a Kemalist.
