Artist: Baba Zula
Album: Crossing The Bridge (Soundtrack)
Title: Tavus havasi
Year: 2005
About Baba ZulaKnown for its unique sound created by the amalgamation of natural field recordings coupled with traditional and modern acoustic and electronic instruments, Baba Zula, an adventurous İstanbul-based underground band has brought a brand new dimension to the alternative world music scene. Scoring solely for plays and films until their first vocal album Psychebelly Dance Music, Baba Zula remains loyal to its singular creativity.
Mixed and mastered by Mad Professor, the notorious British/Jamaican dub producer, the oriental–dub album incorporates folk tunes, gazel, taksim and bozlak with a contemporary approach and fuses them with universal concepts such as sample, dub and groove. With their third album, Duble Oryantal again mixed and mastered in the heart of mega-city Istanbul by Mad Professor, Baba Zula have further developed the new genre they have named oriental dub.There’s a talented and eclectic supporting cast on board for a share of musical pioneering. Guest musicians include reggae legends Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, Alexander Hacke- basist of Einstuerzende Neubauten, Canadian vocalist Brenna MacCrimmon and three acclaimed artists who span the spectrum from traditional Turkish music (celebrated clarinetist Hüsnü Şenlendirici from Laço Tayfa) to Turkish rock and pop (Özkan Uğur from MFÖ), and writer-painter-musician Mehmet Güreli.
Among Baba Zula’s performances are Roskilde Festival (Denmark), Cologne Triennale (Germany), Printemps de Bourges (France) and Şimdi/Now Festival (Germany), Boost Festival ( The Netherlands ). The band also appeared in the Golden Bear award-winner, film director Fatih Akın’s new documentary on the sounds of Istanbul, played and recorded with Einstuerzende Neubauten’s Alexander Hacke.

This track is from a documentary movie soundtrack called crossing the bridge by the German-Turkish filmmaker Fatih Akin. Baba Zula did a lot of nice stuff. Are you well again?
See you

Thanks for your visit here. I didn't know about the Printemps de Bourges before. That seems to be a nice festival with rather good groups and bands. I've bookmarked your link and I'll check the site for information but probably I won't become an active member because my bad time management doesn't allow me spending even more time at the computer.
Take care
