About Selda Bağcan

Selda Bağcan fused Anatolian folk songs with psychedelic rock, electric guitar, and politically charged arrangements. Her commanding voice made rural ballads and protest songs resonate with urban audiences during the turbulent 1970s. Later reissues and sampling introduced her catalog to new generations of listeners worldwide.
