Solta a franga

A special episode of Solta a Franga, dedicated to just one band: Baba Zula.
Next Wednesday Januari 20 the band will perform at the Bimhuis, Amsterdam [link / facebook event]
Baba Zula originates from Istanbul and exists since 1996. They combine traditional Turkish instruments like saz, baglama, darbuka and wooden spoons with modern electronics, bass guitar and psychedelic dub effects. Animal sounds (birds, horses, peacocks etc.) play an important role as well.
DJ Safri has been a fan for years and even had the honour to play before after their live performance in Amsterdam. He gathered his favourite album tracks for this mix and combined them with a few exclusive remixes and a live recording. This mix has been received very positively by the band and is even being used by one of their belly dancers for her solo performance in Japan.
