The Bosporus Bridges series continues its legacy with Volume 3, a masterful collection that delves deep into the grooves of 1970s Turkey. This compilation is a treasure trove for the discerning audiophile, offering a rich tapestry of sounds where the East meets the West in a dance of jazz, funk, and psychedelic beats. Each track is a testament to a time when Turkish musicians were fearlessly blending traditional melodies with the electric pulse of Western pop, creating a genre-defying hybrid that still feels fresh and daring today.
From the funky rhythms of Seyyal Taner's Sarmaş Dolaş to the jazzy beats of Burhan Tonguç's Du-bi-ba, this album is a journey through a vibrant cultural crossroads. The inclusion of rare, vinyl-only tracks such as Figen Han's Pisi Pisi and Dönüşüm's Taek-Won-Do adds an exclusive allure, making this a must-have for collectors. The meticulous restoration and remastering of these tracks bring out the warmth and depth of the original recordings, all housed in a beautifully authentic 70s-style cover. Bosporus Bridges 3 is not just an album; it’s an exploration of Turkey’s rich musical heritage, reimagined through the lens of funk, jazz, and psychedelic rock.
