About

Yeni Türkü is a Turkish band. The group has held concerts and has recorded a number of albums since forming in 1978. Their musical style is characterized by a combination of traditional Turkish and modern musical instruments, including the oud, baglama, kemenche, qanun and guitar. Their music reflects influences of music from around the world. All group members have changed several times throughout the years, with the exception of the lead singer Derya Köroğlu. After the coup of September 12, 1980, the album Buğdayın Türküsü, composed of poems by names such as Nazım Hikmet, was banned. For this reason, Yeni Türkü's career was interrupted for a short time.
