Altın Gün

Altın Gün is a Dutch-Turkish psych folk band based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. They mostly revive Turkish folk, psychedelia, funk and rock repertoire of the 1970s.

After performing in Istanbul with Jacco Gardner, bassist Jasper Verhulst became fascinated by the Turkish sound of the 70s. At that time, artists like Selda, Barış Manço and Erkin Koray combined traditional music with western rock influences.

Along with bandmates Ben Rider (guitar) and Nic Mauskovic (drums), Verhulst searched for Turkish musicians to revive this sound. Read more on Last.fm
