Grup Şimşek is a fresh and modern pop-group which combines Anatolian Folk and contemporary grooves, often contaminated by Psychedelia and progressive rock flavours.
Led by Derya Yıldırım’s hypnotizing bağlama and vocals, the group draw a meaningful continuity from the Turkish folk repertoire to their original songwriting, with a strong sound identity and a dancefloor- friendly energy. Born in 2014, Grup Şimşek is an "outernational" band with members hailing from several countries – Turkey, Germany, UK, France.
The line-up: Derya Yıldırım, talented Turkish singer and bağlama (a.k.a. saz) player; Greta Eacott, British composer and drummer (G-Bop Orchestra, One Take Records) ; Graham Mushnik, and Antonin Voyant, both multi-instrumentists and music wizards from French collective Catapulte Records ( Orchestre du Montplaisant, Guess What, Phat Dat...).
