Istemem by Erkin Koray (1971)



In this space, I've featured a few Turkish psych/folk/rock artists over the years, such as Barış MançoEdip Akbayram, and Selda Bağcan. However, the Turkish (or Anatolian) rock scene would not be what it was if not for the pioneering work of guitarist Erkin Koray. He was making psych/rock music in the mid sixties before the genre was very popular in his home country. Here he is from 1971.
