Bağlama player and multi-instrumentalist Derya Yıldırım joined by her international band of brothers and sisters.

Yıldırım was born in a multicultural neighborhood of Hamburg, where she was influenced by the culture and music of neighboring communities as well as that of her family, learning the bağlama alongside piano, sax, and guitar. Born in 2014, and with two albums and one EP under their belt, the group has forged a formidable reputation with their heady mix of Anatolian folk, 1970s Turkish rock, psychedelia, pop and jazz. Now, they are back with their third album ‘Dost 2’, the second of a two part series following 2021’s highly acclaimed ‘Dost 1’. On ‘Dost 2’, new interpretations of Turkish classics and the band’s own original compositions are seamlessly tied together by inventive arrangements and spellbinding grooves, transcending time as past and present collide in the space of one song. The band marries 1960s and 70s Anatolian influences with a contemporary approach to composition and rhythm, thanks in large part to the contribution of drummer, percussionist, composer, and marimba player Greta Eacott.

True to their name, Grup Şimşek (Ocean Lighting) and Derya Yıldırım will take you on a psychedelic journey, meandering through Anatolian folk music and poetry with their electrifying grooves.
