Altın Gün

<p><em>Amsterdam&rsquo;s Altın G&uuml;n are heading back to Australia in February and March 2027, bringing their Turkish folk, psych-rock and dancefloor grooves to intimate venues and festival stages.<br><br>Since their 2018 debut On, Altın G&uuml;n have been putting their own spin on Turkish folk and Anatolian psychedelia, pairing winding bağlama melodies with wah-wah guitar, heavy basslines, organ and percussion. Drawing on pioneers including Barış Man&ccedil;o and Erkin Koray, it&rsquo;s a sound steeped in tradition with plenty of room for experimentation - and dancing!<br><br>Their fifth album, Garip, pays tribute to legendary Turkish singer, songwriter and bağlama player Neşet Ertaş. The band give his songs of love, longing and everyday life a fresh take, adding funk-rock, synths, slide guitar and strings by the Stockholm Studio Orchestra. For vocalist and bağlama player Erdin&ccedil; E&ccedil;evit, who grew up listening to Ertaş&rsquo;s music, it&rsquo;s also a personal nod to the songs of his childhood.</em></p>
