Показать описание
Selda Bağcan is a legendary Turkish singer and political activist. Her first singles, about political struggle and the demands of the working class, sold over 1 million copies. Selda’s psychedelic interpretations of traditional Turkish folk music and her political views have lost Selda her passport and caused her to be repeatedly imprisoned during the 70s and 80s.

Her career as a professional musician started in 1971, during her final year at the university, with the encouragement and support of the Ankara-based music producer Erkan Özerman. The six singles she released that year, in which she interpreted traditional Turkish folk songs in a strong, emotional voice, accompanied by a simple acoustic guitar or bağlama, carried her to national fame.

In 1972, she was selected by the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to represent Turkey in the international Golden Orpheus song contest. She released twelve more singles and three LP records until 1980 and toured many cities in Turkey and western Europe. Many of her songs carried strong social criticism and solidarity with the poor and the working class, which made her especially popular among the left-wing activists and sympathizers during the politically polarized 1970s.

She experimented with rock and roll and with synthetic and electronic sounds in her LPs, although her musical style remained firmly rooted in the folk tradition. After the 1980 Turkish coup d'état, she was persecuted by the military rulers due to her political songs and was imprisoned three times between 1981 and 1984. Her passport was confiscated and held by the authorities until 1987, which, among other things, prevented her from attending the first WOMAD Reading festival in 1986. Partly thanks to pressure from WOMAD, her passport was returned in 1987 and she immediately started a European tour, giving concerts in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in the same year.

Since then, she has produced several albums and given concerts in many cities in Turkey and all over the world, and remains active in the Turkish musical scene. Her 1993 single Uğurlar Olsun (Farewell), a lament she composed for the assassinated journalist Uğur Mumcu, was immensely popular and quickly became a symbol for the political turbulence of the 1990s, a period marked by several unsolved high-profile assassinations in Turkey. In late 2000, she was badly injured in a car accident on her way to a concert in Antakya, suffering several broken bones as well as contusions and cuts all over her body. She was able to make full recovery after a lengthy period of treatment. She expressed solidarity with the Gezi Park protests of 2013, even though she was not able to physically participate in the protests due to a concert in Belgium. In November 2014, Selda headlined Le Guess Who? Festival in Utrecht, The Netherlands, together with bands that admitted to being influenced by her music, including St. Vincent, Tune-Yards and Suuns and Jerusalem In My Heart.

Her music has been sampled by several musicians outside of Turkey, including the band 2manydjs and hip-hop artists Mos Def, Oh No, and Dr. Dre.

Bağcan currently lives in Istanbul.

Nakaratlarda 5-6 defa nolur diyor, ilk nolur deyişiyle sonuncu deyişi arasında ki geçişler mükemmel, önce isyan sonra sitem, en son yalvaris, hatta her deyişinde farklı bir duyguyla söylüyor, bence literatüre geçecek bir söyleme şekli...muazzam..muazzam

Büyük usta Mahsuni Şerife de Teşekkür ediyoruz bu eseri bize kazandırdığı için. Onun yaşadığı köy ağalara hizmet etmekle uğraşan maraba bir köydü. Bütün bu acılara bizzat şahit olmuş bir ozanımız. Işıklar içinde uyu...

Şarkı kadar illüstrasyonlar da çok iyi. Gerçekten çok iyi iş çıkartıyorsunuz.

Dönem'in adaletsizliğini, fakirlerini sorunlarını çok iyi analiz eden bir türkü. Efsane bir sanat eseri. Selda Bağcan'ın sesi ayrı bir tat katıyor zaten.
