About: Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek

Fronted by bağlama virtuoso Derya Yıldırım, this outernational quintet channels Anatolian folk tradition through a psychedelic, soul-drenched lens - all sung in Turkish. Their 2025 Big Crown Records debut Yarın Yoksa, crafted with Grammy-nominated producer Leon Michels, has taken them from sold-out European club nights to the Elbphilharmonie stage.
