Derya Yildirim & Grup Simsek Dost 1 & 2

This double LP gathers all tracks from the acclaimed Dost 1 and Dost 2 released respectively in 2021 and 2022.

Derya Yıldırım and Grup Şimşek’s subtle and groovy Anatolian psych folk sound matches the powerful quality of the songs often led by Yıldırım’s sublime vocals and bağlama (Turkish lute). They captured a lively, unique piece of interpretation which connects to the meaning of ‘Dost’. “Dost is a friend, a comrade, a brother, a sister and even more than that. Dost is the connection to keep this life and world meaningful”. No doubt that with this project Derya Yıldırım and Grup Şimşek will bring sounds, people and emotions together.
