Catalog Number: ZEL04 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 4062548017533 - Cafe Turk are an inimitable Turkish-Swiss band formed in the 1980s, whose genre-bending sonic palette draws from Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Western Europe. - Weaving in the crackling energy of new wave, rock, disco and reggae with influences from Turkey and Azerbaijan. -This self-titled compilation features previously unreleased recordings and selected works from Cafe Turk's discography. From the rolling disco of the group's debut recording "Haydi Yallah"; to the previously unreleased kosmiche of "Yildizlar", "Ali Baba From Istanbul"s Azeri grooves and German language vocals, to the psyched-out interpretation of Caucasian folk tune "Samil", Cafe Turk showcases the endless stream of ideas the band had during their time together between 1983 and 1990. 2-paged feature on Songlines Magazine Full feature on Bandcamp Daily - https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/cafe-turk-interview Full feature on The Vinyl Factory - https://thevinylfactory.com/news/cafe-turk-archival-compilation-vinyl/ Full feature on XLR8 - https://xlr8r.com/news/legendary-turkish-swiss-rock-band-cafe-turk-to-release-compilation-album/ Full feature on The Berliner - https://www.the-berliner.com/film/gastarbeiter-music-love-d-marks-death-turkish-canani-immigration/ Album reviews by Shindig, Record Collector, Uncut Played on BBC6 Music by Tom Ravenscroft Played on NTS radio by trevor Jackson, Charlie Bones, Zakia, Total Statis
