  • Anatolian Rock

    Anatolian Rock (n.) [ænəˈtoʊliən ɹɑk]: Anatolian rock gets its name from the Turkish ethnic group “Anatolians” and the combination of the rock and roll influence of the mid 1960’s. Although the word rock typically centers around a more defined sound that we know from this era, Anatolian Rock fell under a more broad band of other genres like folk, jazz, psychedelic rock, disco, Western pop, progressive, classical and traditional Turkish music. Or rather  than just being a mixture of European art music and Turkish music, Anatolian Rock was a mixture of Euro-American rock and roll and Turkish music, played in conjunction with western and Turkish instruments.

  • Aboriginal Roots

    Aboriginal Roots (n.) [æbəˈrɪdʒən(ə)l ruts]: Aboriginal refers to any of the original inhabitants of the world. In reference to the Australian continent the aboriginal descriptor often contributed to the indigenous people of Australia and the Torres Straight Islands. The indigenous people of the Australian continent span over 400 tribes and hundreds of distinct languages. Through thousands of years of cultural practices, rituals, threats of destruction of lifestyles and people during the colonization period, and the intertwining of modern influences help keep Aboriginal Australian music alive and well in the music industry.
