Grup Şimşek
is a fresh and modern pop group which combines Anatolian folk and contemporary grooves, often contaminated by psychedelia and progressive rock flavors. Led by
Derya Yıldırım
's hypnotizing bağlama and vocals, the group draw a meaningful continuity from the Turkish folk repertoire to their original songwriting, with a strong sound identity and a dancefloor-friendly energy. Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek, along with Swiss label Bongo Joe, release the new LP
Dost 1
, the collective's second album and first of two to be released in 2022. Turkish singer and saz player Derya Yıldırım has been burning the candle for Turkish folk and psychedelia since her infamous performance at the New Hamburg Festival back in 2015. Soon after, Grup Şimşek was born and there started a rich journey of musical feast, exploring and rendering new versions of Anatolian classics as well as building a songbook of original compositions, with references to the music of
The Doors
, west coast US psych, Turkish musical activist and hero
Selda Bagçan
and many heroes of musical Anatolia. Grup Şimşek are itinerant by nature. They live apart across various European homes and span Turkish, German, French, and English heritage with Derya living in Berlin. Despite this spatial incongruence, the group's harmony oozes through their music with a rich stew of funk-noir groove, organ energy, hypnotic saz (Turkish stringed instrument) and synths all layered beneath Derya's warm sometimes heartfelt vocal, singing verse and poetry, borrowed, evolved and new.
