Altin Gün, a vibrant Turkish psych-folk band, has been captivating audiences worldwide with their electrifying blend of Anatolian folk music and modern psych-rock elements. The band was formed in Amsterdam by bassist Jasper Verhulst, who, after being inspired by Turkish music during a trip, decided to bring this rich musical tradition to a wider audience by blending it with contemporary sounds. The ensemble consists of members from both Turkish and Dutch backgrounds, which contributes to the unique fusion of cultures in their music.

Their repertoire, featuring an array of traditional Turkish folk songs reimagined with a psychedelic twist, has garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. Hits like "Doktor Civanım" and "Güzelligin On Para Etmez" showcase the band's ability to bridge the gap between past and present, traditional and modern. Altin Gün's innovative approach to music is evident in their discography, with recent releases such as "Vallahi Yok / Kirik Cam" and the energetic "Aşk," revealing their continuous exploration and reinterpretation of the rich textures of Anatolian music. With a foot firmly planted in the roots of Turkish folk music and another in the world of psychedelia, Altin Gün brings a fresh perspective to the global music scene, making old sounds new and vibrant once again.
