RELEASE DATE
8/11/2023
Official re-release, retrieved from original cassette tape (1988). First time on vinyl. Includes Turkish musicians like jazz and percussion star
Okay Temiz
. Brought to you by the compiler of the Saz Beat series as well as the Bosporus Bridges series. A Danish-Lebanese Afro-American who has learned Turkish and knows how to play the saz? Who entered the Anatolian Pop scene in Istanbul right in the heyday, the early 1970s? And who got so much musical credit that the renowned Turkish producer
Nazmi Şenel
released a solo album with him in 1988, recorded in Istanbul and including musicians like Turkish percussion star Okay Temiz? Sounds pretty unlikely. Sometimes miracles happen and highly improbable music gets released. A person with a diverse heritage as
Nyofu Tyson
can be seen as a "melting pot", as a "synthesis". Yet, he can be also seen as someone who is able to step out for new paths. This is the case for
Türk Lokumu - Turkish Delite
. Like nobody before, Tyson connects and opens up Anadolu Pop towards a whole range of styles: synth-pop, new wave, reggae, hip-hop/break, Latin, disco boogie... He shows you how vital, compatible and versatile one could think Anadolu Pop at the end of the 1980s. The compositions are basically all Türkü-s, traditional Anatolian folk songs, yet updated with a poly-cultural music practice, which involved a lot of the then current musical trends. So, this is Turkish folk music and it has at the same time all what you like about the late 1980s pop music: cold electronic drum sounds, crisp-flashy synths, crunchy bass -- all in contrast with warm distorted saz tones, wooden Turkish wind instruments, and a disco-soul proven female choir. This is crazy music. This is a miracle. This is Anatolian-synth.
