about

Mavi Işıklar was performing beat/rock music in a very clean manner, thus their performances are widely remembered by Turkish audience, although they were only making covers of the contemporary Beat and R&B music, folk music arrangements and Turkish adaptations of well known songs.
They managed to sell thousand of records one after the other and be loved for what they really were even in the conservative Anatolian towns.
The band also used cover of popular songs with Turkish lyrics from the those years.

Here is the story of Mavi Işıklar;
To look at Mavi Isiklar's history is to go for a walk in westernized Turkish popular music history. Filled with "firsts," Mavi Isiklar were musically and stylistically a groundbreaking band for Turkey, founded by brothers Cetin and Metin Yavuzdogan. The first lineup comprised Nejat Toksoy, Cihat Gunaydin, and Zamir Manisa.
Taking their name from the peaceful and quiet color blue and their will to shine a light on the future generations (Mavi Isiklar means "Blue Lights"), the band started working on cover songs at the beginning. Taking on a very intense concert schedule, Mavi Isiklar quickly gathered a lot of support.
After just a couple of months of playing together, they applied to the first-ever "Golden Microphone Contest." Out of 78 contestants, they were one of the ten finalists chosen by a jury of 80 music authorities. The finalists later played to crowds in Ankara, Adana, Izmir, and Istanbul and after the votes of the people, Mavi Isiklar came in second.
Within a year, Mavi Isiklar were one of the most wanted bands in Turkey, appearing in films and playing in popular clubs.

In 1966, they again took the second place in the Golden Microphone Song Contest, their competition song was "Cayir Cimen Geze Geze". They were again voted "Band of the Year" in 1966.
Their mixture of Turkish folk and Western rhythms combined with their outstanding live performance proved to be a big success. They changed their stage costumes rapidly and they once even put beds on the stage and played with their pajamas on.
The '70s brought another genre into mainstream attention in Turkey: Anadolu Pop. Although Mavi Isiklar were still popular, recent changes in the lineup and the economical circumstances forced the band to quit music business.
