About the event

🎤 Introducing BaBa ZuLa!

Even after 30 years since their inception, the legendary band from Istanbul continues to stand out as the most experimental act in the contemporary Turkish psych-rock scene, alongside artists like Altın Gün, Gaye Su Akyol, Lalalar, and Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek. Founded by Levent Akman (spoons, percussion, machines, toys) and Murat Ertel (electric saz and other string instruments, vocals, theremin), they're hailed as pioneering sound innovators with a global cult following, counting fans like Einstürzende Neubauten, Can, and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.

🌟 Renowned MOJO magazine once noted them as "Turkish veterans bridging the gap between Erkin Koray, Can, and Mad Professor." Their music is a vibrant mix of pulsating, hypnotic tracks enriched with Turkish percussion, glitchy electronics, and deep bass, often wrapping political statements in an artistic shell.

🔮 Looking ahead! In 2026, BaBa ZuLa celebrates their 30th anniversary with a new best-of album and exciting new songs. They’re gearing up for a major European tour to commemorate 30 years of musical evolution with all of you!
