Moğollar is a pioneering Turkish rock band known for their unique blend of traditional Anatolian music with Western rock influences, essentially founding the Anatolian rock genre. The group was formed in 1967 by musicians who wanted to combine the folkloric tunes of Anatolia with modern music principles. Throughout the decades, Moğollar have been influential in shaping Turkish rock music and have enjoyed both critical and popular acclaim. Their work is characterized by the use of traditional instruments alongside electric guitars and drums, creating a sound that is at once both familiar and novel to the Turkish ear.

Throughout their illustrious career, Moğollar has undergone changes in their lineup but has always remained true to their mission of exploring and reinterpreting the rich musical heritage of Anatolia. They have been instrumental in preserving Turkish musical traditions while also introducing them to global audiences. With albums like "Anadolu Pop Moğollar, Vol. 1" and "Anadolu Rock Efsaneleri," they have cemented their status as legends in Turkish music. The band's ability to evolve while retaining the essence of their roots is seen in later releases such as "Anatolian Sun" and "Haliç’te Güneşin Batışı D2D Session," showing that Moğollar continues to inspire and innovate well into the 21st century. Their contribution to music has made them not just a band but a cultural icon in the realm of Turkish and world music.
