Reinvigorating roots [EN] March 2008 // interview by Anil Prasad [innerviews.org] Turkey's most popular alternative band makes waves worldwide

roots “Roots” possesses the analog, authentic rock’n roll sound BaBa Zula grew up listening to in the late-60s, courtesy of cult-favorite Turkish producer Mehmet Ateş. By using the most symbolic instruments of Turkish culture, the wooden spoons and the saz - an instrument that stands out as the first and only Turkish instrument that has been electrified - BaBa Zula’s roots serve as the foundation for their experimentation.
duble oryantal Intrepid buccaneers and experimentalists Baba Zula continue to explore uncharted waters with this, their third "Duble Oryantal (Belly Double)" album on Doublemoon. Mixed and mastered in the heart of mega-city Istanbul by legendary British dub producer Mad Professor, who also worked on their last outing "Psychebelly Dance Music", "Duble Oryantal" is the culmination of years of fearless musical adventuring, and as usual there's a talented and eclectic supporting cast on board for a share of the bounty.
