Gaye Su Akyol (TUR)

"Blood, sweat, tears and a herd of wild horses", says Gaye Su Akyol, are also embedded in her music. And anyone who deduces great passion and an untamed desire for freedom from this is right. The Turkish singer-songwriter, who is regarded as one of the most exciting voices on the current Istanbul music scene, gallops easily across all genre boundaries and ereas. Her music is a powerful mixture of Anatolian folk-pop and post-punk, Turkish psychedelic rock, surf, and a touch of disco.
