Active since 2001, Ayyuka was one of the first bands to look back at 70’s Turkish music to find a new voice. Not caught up in the “retromania” but reincarnating Turkish Psychedelic within their own style, the band managed to develop an unmistakeable unique sound. Inspirations of Dick Dale, John Frusciante, and local heroes like Erkin Koray , Orhan Gencebay , make their music more guitar oriented but their fascination with film music and improvisation creates unexpected twists within their songs.
