YALNAYAK Taking its name from Nazım Hikmet's poem of the same name, Yalnayak is inspired by Anatolian melodies and tells its stories with a psychedelic spacefunk/ rock fusion. The unique sound of the Istanbul-based band has emerged by combining the warm vocals of Damla Temel, the electronic arrangements of Netam, the bouncing bass grooves of Batuhan Camci and the funky guitar riffs of Semih Duz. In 2022, The band released Binboğa in memory of Barış Manço and it was added to Spotify's Global Groove playlist. In this way, Yalnayak reached listeners from all over the world. As a harbinger of Band’s debut album, Hepimiz Biriz, was released on March 10. _______________ EL MORABBA3 In 2009, Jordanian Palestinian band El Morabba3, (The Square in Arabic) came together to offer a groundbreaking sound with their unique music and socially engaged lyrics. Their fresh rock/post-rock electronic sound, described as euphoric, holistic, spacey and raucous quickly catapulted the band to massive success. Their artistic journey saw them become one of the leading socially and politically relevant bands reviving the Arab Independent music scene. Now, after restructuring the band and moving from Amman to Berlin, founding singer/songwriter/bassist Muhammad Abdullah and the music producer and sound artist Basel Naouri are taking El Morabba3’s earlier aesthetic evolution into a new direction. Departing from the raw post-rock energy of the first album and the polished instrumental/electronic fervor of the second, the artists have taken a deep dive into experimentation with electronic sound and storytelling.
