The Best Of

supported by

Lute FP 70s psychedelic Turkish folk disco rock from Germany...

This is far better than one might presume if judging the book by its cover, but frankly the cover is what made me pause to investigate. And about two songs in I read their bio, and in so doing decided I should give them my money just because they are so damn clever.

Lots of filler, but there are some great songs, too.

about

Derdiyoklar İkilisi a.k.a. Derdiyoklar. The father of name "Disco Folk".

Legendery crazy Turkish hippie folk due from Germany. The band was formed in West Germany in the late 1970s by Ihsan Guvercin and Ali Ekber Aydogan. They're very famous for their live shows.

Turkish Bar or Bengi folk dancing requires approximately 100 people to do properly, and it helps if a lot of them are eating wedding cake. You put your arms around the shoulders of the people on either side of you, and then stomp around in a circle, facing in and kicking the air, until everybody is exhausted and happy. Far away from any folklore festivals.
Derdiyoklar hand–built the soundtrack to this dancing as it was drunkenly executed by luckless German–Turkish immigrants in the fashion–insensitive 80s. And though the band had only two members, they decided electric saz, synthesized drums, cimbalom, and sheep sound effects were all needed to get the job done. Who could argue? This tinkly and psychoactive album, full of uniquely odd overdubs and buzzy, flanged–out guitar solos..

Here are their best 12 songs from active period between 1979 and 1987.
