Mogollar

Legendary Turkish psych innovators Mo?ollar grace the Artone Studios in Haarlem for a masterclass in the original Anadolu psych roots.

Formed at the end of 1967 with five young musicians, Mo?ollar were the original Anadolu psych originators. They were the first Turkish pop band who tried to blend the microtonal folklore and traditional instruments of rural Anatolia with Western pop and rock; they were the first Turkish psychedelic band to achieve overseas recognition, winning the prestigious French Grand Prix Du Disque in 1971 after a period in Paris; and they coined the very phrase ‘Anadolu Pop’ with their first album release. They were radical, innovative, and hugely popular, and when the great artists of the Turkish rock revolution appeared on the scene, Mo?ollar were already there – stars including Bar?? Manço, Selda, Cem Karaca and Ersen all recorded with them or briefly joined the line-up. Mo?ollar were and are the undisputed pioneers of the style.
