Anatolian rock is a vibrant fusion of traditional Turkish folk music and Western rock elements, emerging in the late 1960s and blossoming through the 1970s. Characterized by its eclectic use of indigenous instruments like the bağlama and saz alongside electric guitars, it creates a rich, textured soundscape that bridges cultural and musical worlds. This genre often incorporates complex rhythms and emotive vocals, delivering both nostalgic and contemporary narratives. Artists like Duman and Müzeyyen Senar exemplify its range, from psychedelic experimentation to poetic explorations of love and social issues, highlighting Anatolian rock's enduring appeal and cultural depth.
