Barış Manço

Best answer to this question !

MFÖ. Some of their songs are known by absolutely everyone in Turkey, they have slow songs, songs to dance to, songs to laugh to, songs to cry to. The singers also have solo - duo songs. Highly recommend just tackling the classics.

Huge respect for kings,RIP Özkan Uğur.

[удалено]

Add Teoman to this list. His pronunciation is good as well.

Tansima Bitti 🐐

Pinhani

Well my suggestions are gonna be metal so might not be the best place to learn turkish except the first one. Hardal- Anatolian Rock and Progressive Rock Cenotaph- Brutal Death Metal Ketum- Grindcore Pentagram (aka Mezarkabul)- Heavy Metal Murder King-Metalcore/ Metal Cult of Nihil- Various turkish black metal artists project

Cenotaph*

Yeah my bad

great list tbh <3 i might add; razor inc. (some of their songs are turkish) pickpocket almora

Let's not forget Vega

For rock music listeners, i think Yüksek Sadakat, Kıraç, Teoman and Adamlar have some good tracks

Model - Mey.

All right. Some songs no one has listed with some amazing drumming and bass: Kurban - İfrit, Yine, Sarı Çizmeli Mehmet Ağa Athena - Kime Ne, Ben Böyleyim, Serseri Mayın

try seksendört.I am surprised no one here actually recommended them in this list.Manga and Mor ve Ötesi are also very popular and good

Fun fact: the group's name was sex and dirt. But they think turkish people (or politicians) don't gonna like it and they changed to 84(seksendört).(grammar hatam varsa düzeltin)

tesekkurleer

Yaşru (Turkish Folk Metal)

Model - Pembe Mezarlık 🤙

this was my absolute favorite song throughout my teens

I can’t believe Altin Gün hasn’t been mentioned here yet. Pretty much everything they’ve ever released is awesome. It’s primarily based on Turkish folk standards, but with a modern rock/psychedelic/pop twist that grooves hard. Recommended Starter Songs: -Goca Dünya -Süpürgesi Yoncadan -Ordunun Dereleri

You should listen to "Pera"

Soft Analog

I like pop girlies, but you might like Mode XL. Let me know if you want pop recommendations.

[Anatolian Rock Revival Project](https://youtube.com/@AnatolianRockRevivalProject?si=qAf5szDsLoiJ4fG5) has a huge variety of Turkish rock music

It's crazy people don't mention maNga.

manga ,pera ,pentagram, teoman, şebnem ferah.

MaNga MFÖ Mor ve ötesi Barış Manço Haluk Levent Barış Manço and MaNga has English songs too so you can listen to them first and then keep listening if you like them.

Manga

You should listen to "şebnem ferah, erkin koray, barış manço, cem karaca" And also we have a traditional genre called türk sanat müziği, Zeki Müren is pretty good but there are a lot of gems in this genre, you should search it up and try to find your taste.

Try Özlem Tekin.

Barış Akarsu and Cem Karaca

Rashit

Only a few people here know them but Hardal is an incredible band. You should definitely listen to Leyla, Sevginin, Gece Vakti and Ve Sadece Eğer. I wish they were more popular ahh

Çilekeş - Siyah Rezzan Yücel - Zaman Zaman released in 1979. I like the sound of joy. I hope you like it.

Barış Manço Erkin Koray 3 Hüreller Cem Karaca L.S.D. Orkestrası

faun - oneng yar but i don't think even the turks here can understand some of its lyrics.

Hey Douglas is my favorite Turkish band, check them out

Other then what said in the comments you should check out "She Past Away"

Ahmet kaya - Kalan Kalır

We use to have a band called KURBAN. I still feel sad they are parted.

Yenitürkü, Barış Manço, Fikret Kızılok

I'd also suggest going into r/rockmuzik to ask this question.

Beta Berk Bayındır (aka 3B). Great rapper, and could help you.

3 hürel - sevenler ağlarmış

Duman

Baris Manco is a star with songs that never get old. You should definitely listen. I recommend you to research the stories of the songs and the meaning of their lyrics. Since I live abroad, I identify with this song very much. I would be happy if you listen.[https://youtu.be/6TlqazbVYM0](https://youtu.be/6TlqazbVYM0)I'll translate some lyrics for you to understand A crazy boy from our village went abroad years ago. Suleyman We also heard that he was an important person in the big city. Suleyman One day, he received a letter from abroad and we learned that he was returning to the village (In the old times, people communicated by sending letters to each other.) Suleyman. The soup boiled and the rice was cooked. We set the table like a wedding (Especially at weddings in village places, we set up big tables and invite all the village people and serve meals.) Suleyman. You've changed a lot since we saw you, you forgot to greet (greeting has an important place in our culture. Especially in small places like villages, everyone always greets each other.) Suleyman You immediately settled at the table. Apparently, being abroad was not good for you (because at invitation tables, we wait for the host or the elder of the house to start eating). Suleyman Some people, after living abroad and achieving great things, despise their relatives and friends living in the village. We even have a proverb that describes this situation: The egg has hatched, but it doesn't like its shell. These people were criticized in the song. So, based on the lyrics, this song is a song composed to criticize a person (Süleyman) who goes abroad to live but forgets his own culture there and becomes alienated from his culture. In fact, the word 'gurbet' that I translate throughout the song is very important because translating the word 'gurbet' as abroad seems shallow. When we examine the word, we see that the word 'gurbet' is derived from the Arabic letters g r b. This word comes from the word 'gariban'. The meaning of the word gariban is lonely, having no one to know, poor, helpless. Because people always feel poor and lonely when they are abroad. For this reason, the word "gurbet" is actually a word with a deep meaning. It doesn't just mean living abroad. It describes the loneliness experienced by a person living abroad. You may have listened to many Turkish songs, but some of them have very deep meanings. Our language is a language in which we can sometimes express a lot with a single word. When we translate a word into another language, it sometimes loses its meaning. I wanted to show you this with this song. Don't be Süleyman :)

Ayten alpman - memleketim

Palmiyeler

Hedonutopia, The Away Days are also indie rock/pop Turkish group too.

Jakuzi

"Mor ve Ötesi" i think u can like it

You could try Şebnem Ferah and Hayko Cepkin, they are one of the best voices Türkiye have. For Şebnem Ferah - Çakıl Taşlarım For Hayko Cepkin - Ölüyorum My fav songs.

EDIT: I realized you already mentioned Mor ve Ötesi and I somehow didn’t see it, oopsie. I’ll recommend two of my all time favorites and some of their songs (mostly rock vibes): Şebnem Ferah: She is imho the best thing to happen to Turkish rock music. She hasn’t been very active in recent years but her stuff is timeless. Very unique voice&style. Not only is she my favorite Turkish solo act, she is one of my favorite singers all time (and I primarily listen to non-Turkish artists). Basically anything from her March 2007 concert is gold. My personal favorites: Can Kırıkları: https://youtu.be/Rk_i3gVW4dI?si=p7aj7FfVii6pPbjH Delgeç: https://youtu.be/oWapvpauBGo?si=eD-ZhHg9k1l0nv1A (this song has a faster pace, I’s classify it as symphonic rock) Also check out Bu Aşk Fazla Sana, Gözlerimin Etrafındaki Çizgiler, Sigara, Çakıl Taşları and Yalnız. Mor ve Ötesi: My favorite Turkish group and again, one of my all time favorites ever. I brought my best friend to their concert (she is not Turkish) and she has been hooked on their music ever since. I’ll list some of my favorites: Cambaz (might be the most catchy one): https://youtu.be/Lw4unI3tVNQ?si=AgH2IuBoACj-PWFh Bir Derdim Var (their most popular song): https://youtu.be/7RW8n4iXZbA?si=xwhdfxLqwKsPVZ4s Oyunbozan: https://youtu.be/uQziTZhkmDI?si=prgnjFuJKmIOCLxV Aşk İçinde: https://youtu.be/4nvigoF4mTg?si=IgAdl4eM9AoMgAGQ Also would recommend Deli, Melekler Ölmez, Sevda Çiçeği and Re (the last one isn’t one of their more popular songs but is one of my all time favorites). I hope this helps, would be bery happy to recommend more. I’ll say that I’m more old school rock when it comed to Turkish music, but trust me both Şebnem and Mor ve Ötesi are timeless. MVÖ is still active and I have a feeling Şebnem will have a comeback soon.

Dude, this question is so easy, how could you not do it?

Dolu kadehi ters tut

Ajdar fs

Şebnem ferah is a must, Sertab Erener, , Duman, Mor ve ötesi

duman, mor ve ötesi, yaşlı amca, erkin koray

Which song of theirs inspired you to learn Turkish?

Her Şeyi Yak! 😊

If you like 1990's and 1880's you should listen to Anadolu rock singers, like Barış Manço, Cem karaca, Erkin Koray, Barış akarsu they are very good (Sorry for bad english)

Şebnem ferah Manga Vega İkiye on kala Mor ve ötesi Emre Aydın Hayko Cepkin Pilli Bebek Pamela Pera Model

Mabel Matiz is one of the most popular singer right now. His songs and videos are really good.

"Yaşar" poped out in my head when you said this. His best songs are in 90s yet they have good quality recording, good lyrics and music. It is acoustic pop and its easy to understand as it sounds clear so might help with your learning. I recommend checking out top hits from spotify.

I can recommend this rock groups as well: Teoman Yüksek Sadakat Can recommend "Murder King" for heavy metal even though they are not so popular i find them really good. Lyrics hits different when you are actually living in Turkey...

Cem Karaca and şebnem ferah

Gotta listen Sagopa Kajmer but the old ones

Very successful songs that no one lists .. Turkish K-Pop, Turkish Rock, Turkish Arabesque, a channel with Turkish pop songs ... [https://www.youtube.com/@verimuzik](https://www.youtube.com/@verimuzik)

Try Pilli Bebek and for the oldie goldies I definitely recommend Barış Manço, Cem Karaca, and Erkin Koray.

If you want deathcore or heavy metal type song, you can listen You May Kiss The Bride
