In the organizer's words:

Even 30 years after its foundation, this legendary band from Istanbul is still the most experimental representative of the highly acclaimed contemporary Turkish psych-rock scene, which includes artists such as Altın Gün, Gaye Su Akyol, Lalalar and Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek.

BaBa ZuLa was founded by Levent Akman (spoons, percussions, machines, toys) and Murat Ertel (electric saz and other stringed instruments, vocals, theremin), who are considered groundbreaking sound pioneers and have built up a worldwide cult following and whose fans include bands such as Einstürzende Neubauten, Can and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. The renowned MOJO magazine once described them as "Turkish veterans who create a link between Erkin Koray, Can and Mad Professor".

BaBa ZuLa's songs are pulsating, hypnotic tracks carried by Turkish percussion, frickly electronics, deep bass, an electric saz. They are often a vivid sonic and political statement from a band that continues to show us the future.

Speaking of the future. In 2026, BaBa ZuLa will be celebrating 30 years as a band. In addition to a best-of album, there will also be new songs. And the most important thing: a big European tour to celebrate everything that has happened in the band context over the last 30 years with you.
