June 30, 2016 - 3 Hür-El - Ömür Biter Yol Bitmez (1974)


Why don't we travel to another big country? How about Turkey? The land of 3 Hür-El, a band of three brothers who dared to rock.

The first 1:07 of this song is worthy of rock fame; there are at least four or five different electric guitar tones and effects, bassist laying down some bottom, middle eastern percussion.

Typical of Turkish rock from this period, the vocals are smooth yet passionate and have a kind of religious aspect, like the singing of a cantor.
