Since first coming together in Istanbul in 1996, BaBa ZuLa have specialised in transporting, psychedelic jams that incorporate electronic sounds, deep beats and supremely heavy dub vibrations, while sitting firmly within a distinctly Turkish sound. Percussion instruments such as the clopping darbuka drum and clattering kaşıklar spoons summon traditional folk-dance rhythms, while Ertel’s electrified saz conjures profound Anatolian moods with a modern, amplified twist. It’s a modus operandi that has marked them out as true iconoclasts.
