about

Fikret Kızılok was a Turkish folk-rock musician. He was one of a pioneers of Anadolu-Pop.
A prolific songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and an early experimentalist.
Kizilok was introduced to music during his secondary school years at the Galatasaray High School, a top high school in Turkey that produced music legends Barış Manço and Timur Selçuk as well, although Kızılok went on later to study dentistry. His first instrument was an accordion. He took his first music lessons from one of his classmates' father.

He switched to rhythm guitar in 1963 when he met Cahit Oben.
Their first release in 1965 was the Beatles-inspired song "I Wanna Be Your Man." Later that year, Cahit Oben 4's second single included their first Turkish-language folksong, "Silifke'nin Yoğurdu," with the B-side featuring the first song written by Kızılok, "Hereke."
Cahit Oben 4 contested at Hürriyet's 1965 Golden Microphone Music awards, with their "Makaram Sarı Bağlar / Halime" release. After, Cahit Oben 4 broke-up.
Then Kızılok finished dentistry school. Kızılok also played with Barış Manço at the concerts and recordings (Ay Osman..).

While Kızılok's music has not previously been especially concerned with political themes, his early sound was Anatolian-Folk.
Then he turned to psychedelic & progressive rock sound with his Band "Tehlikeli Madde" which means "Dangerous Substance".
In the middle of 1970s his music began to become more intertwined with politics.

This collection of singles from 1971–75 lets you taste each of Kizilok’s and Anatolia’s many moods.
