MAKAS / Emre Fel

Anatolian psychedelic rock – for fans of Altin Gün

MAKAS

Makas brings together an explosive mix of Anatolian classics and psychedelic rock. Traditional instruments such as the bağlama and tanbur are combined with the guitar, bass, and synthesiser to create a unique sound that is sometimes festive and danceable and sometimes introspective and compelling.

Through their powerful performances, MAKAS create a boundless sound universe that reveals a new story with each listen.
