Groovy psychedelic rock from Turkey that blends traditional instruments and wonderful Anatolian percussion with monstrous fuzz guitars and a '70s prog sensibilty. Erkin Koray was one of the pioneers of rock and roll music in Turkey, first releasing records in the early '60s. By the end of the decade he had adopted a more psychedelic sound. There's plenty of info on the man and his music, and his influence on the Turkish pop scene, over here. Meanwhile, here's some film of his band playing 'Cemalim' from this album:

This is a great record. Nice to see the video.
Glad you're liking the video Icastico. Youtube is a real treasure trove and I think its always great to see footage of these (mostly) forgotten artists. If you haven't already, check out the film of Franco and OK Jazz that I posted way back in September last year...that bit of film blew my head in so many ways.
yeah kool!
Excellent selection. Thank you.
