Numidia - Türkü


Thursday, time for a remake.

"Türkü" is a tune by the legendary Turkish rock musician Erkin Koray and was released on the second album "Elektronik Türküler" (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈelectɾonic tyɾˈcyleɾ], "Electronic Ballads"), originally released by Doğan Plakcılık in 1974. This is his first work to be recorded for the LP format, as opposed to the 45 rpm singles which his output had been restricted to until the mid-1960s.

"Türkü" is Turkish, could be translated to "Folk Song", "Ballad"

The remake is made by Sydney's NUMIDIA. The tune was released on the self-titled debut album "Numidia", released January 7, 2019. NUMIDIA is a quintet that forges influences from Middle Eastern/North African Blues and blends these calming tribal elements with Folk and 70’s Psychedelic and Progressive Rock, gives a touch of exoticism and magic that, surely, will surprise the listener. With three guitars that neatly works together as one and makes the album really fun to listen to.



NUMIDIA is:

James Draper - Guitars and Vocals
Shane Linfoot - Guitars and Vocals
Mike Zoias - Guitars and Vocals
Alex Raffaelli - Bass and Keys / Hammond
Nathan McMahon - Drums and Percussion
Additional vocals: Selin Akbasogullari

Today's tune is recorded live at Lazybones Sydney by Myuran Kathekeyan, Selin Akbaşoğulları and 2 x static GoPros. Audio from GoPro and iPhone X, enjoy!
