Zeynep Beler ile ilgili hikayeler

The second case file of our #60JahreMusik project entitled Hip Hop begins with our Murat Güngor interview, better known by his stage name Murat G. Murat is a musician who simultaneously pioneered and witnessed the birth of Turkish rap in Germany. He is also a researcher of hip hop culture who sees it as the successor to gastarbeiter groove.

The book “The Music of Imagined Turkey” is one of the leading investigations into music from Turkey in Germany, particularly the era up until the 1990’s. The result of eight years of comprehensive field studies, this book remains one of the most important resources in the field despite the twenty years that have elapsed. We are delighted to share the story in short of Martin Greve, the German musicologist who has been a resident of Istanbul for many years.

In the following article, you’ll be reading about the adventures of Cem Karaca, a pioneer of the Anatolian rock movement, in Germany. That adventure also has a little-known fruit: we’re happy to share with you the story of the German-language album Die Kanaken, enriched by our interviews with witnesses to the era.

Frühstück Alla Turca was opened by DJ Funshine's music, guests had their breakfast while listening to musical stories related with immigration. After the conversation with Kabus Kerim and Başak Yavuz, the program ended as the attendants danced and sang along in unison to Kabus Kerim's DJ set.
