Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek recently released their new record "Yarın Yoksa". The album follows the acclaimed releases, "Dost 2" (2022) and "Kar Yağar" (2019), and was recorded in New York City. Ilo Toerkell met Derya Yıldırım and Helen Wells from the group to speak about working with Anatolian classics, folk music as resistance and the bağlama in Germany.
Of course, we did our best to follow the release schedules of every week but even for music nerds like us the pandemic-fuelled overload of releases can be quite overwhelming these times and some records slip through your fingers or are simply discovered months after their initial release. In this feature the staff of NBHAP takes a closer look at some of these great little treasures that deserve more attention, including albums by Anna Leone, Crumb, L'impératrice, Grandmas House, Makthaverskan and more.
