One of the most immediately striking facets of Derin Derin is how its relatively polished production doesn’t take away from the instrumental rawness. Baba Zula’s career is a storied one, soundtracking Fatih Akin’s 2005 documentary Crossing the Bridge: The Sound of Istanbul and collaborating with dub legend Mad Professor on two records (recently showcased on 2017’s retrospective comp XX.) And on Derin Derin, they prove they still have much more to say. While their melding of contemporary and traditional sounds finds its forebears in Turkey’s psychedelic rock scene during the ‘70s-such as Erkin Koray, Barış Manço, and 3 Hür-El-the group craft their heady rock and folk music with a roots-first, references-second approach. Since 1996, the Istanbul-based band Baba Zula have created enchanting songs built around Turkish folk music.
