Derya Yildirim & Grup Şimşek

Grup Şimşek is a fresh and modern super-quintet which performs an electrified and highly danceable set of Turkish music. It combines Anatolian Folk and modern grooves, often contaminated by hints of Psychedelia, Jazz and Funk. Led by Derya Yıldırım’s hypnotizing Saz and vocals, Grup Şimşek deliver their own versions of Turkish jewels (by artists such as Selda Bağcan, Bariş Manço, Özdemir Erdoğan), as well as a handful of original compositions.
