Theater, Show, Performance : Anadolu Rock/Pop Concert in New England
ROCK'N ROLL COMES TO THE TURKISH VILLAGE
03/18/2005 20:00:00 - 03/18/2005 23:00:00During the late 60s and early 70s in Turkey a new trend in popular music came into being which combined American Rock and Pop with Turkish village music.
A full Rock band with special guests on Turkish ethnic instruments will perform CLASSICS BY BARIS MANCO, CEM KARACA, ERKIN KORAY, MOGOLLAR AND MORE!
The synthesis of these styles produced a musical language different from the more dominant Arabesk style which represented rural migrants recently arrived in the cities. Anadolu Rock/Pop appealed instead to the more educated classes.
By the 1980s the style had faded in popularity but its classics continue to be played and remembered all over Turkey.
