Derdiyoklar İkilisi

Derdiyoklar İkilisi is a prominent music duo in Turkey known for their unique blend of traditional folk tunes and modern electronic disco sounds, creating a new genre often referred to as "disco folk." The group comprises İbrahim Tatlıses and Ali Ekber Çiçek, who joined forces in the late 1970s and carved out a niche in the Turkish music scene with their innovative approach to folk music. Their sound is characterized by the use of traditional instruments like the bağlama and darbuka, alongside modern electronic beats, which has resonated with audiences looking for a modern twist on the familiar melodies of Anatolian culture.

The duo has enjoyed a long-lasting career, continually adapting their music over the years, as evident in their more recent releases such as "40. Yıl Hepsi Bir Hiç," which celebrates their 40-year journey in the industry. Derdiyoklar İkilisi's work was also featured on "ISTANBUL70: Disco, Psych, Folk Edits by Barış K Vol.1," showcasing the enduring appeal of their music through remixes and edits by contemporary artists. Albums like "Yolculuk Nereye," "Adak," "Çobanın Mektubu," "Discofolk 5 Yaşında," and "Koleksiyon" have continued to cement their legacy, demonstrating versatility and the ability to speak to new generations while honoring the roots of Turkish folkloric traditions. Their work has not only made significant contributions to Turkish music but has also brought international attention to the diverse sounds of Anatolia.
