Lalalar

Istanbul’s Lalalar twist 13th-century Rumi verses into hypnotic industrial pulses, while the Black Sea’s folkloric rhythms crash into Berlin-style rave beats. A raucous collision of Anatolian Rock, folk traditions, and dark, glitchy electronics. On stage, electronic soundscapes hit hard as the audience is swept into a visceral, almost ritualistic experience. Expect a night where centuries converse, folk meets frenzy, and electronic rebellion finds a pulse that refuses to sit still. Lalalar are a Turkish funk-indie band who say their sound is reminiscent of your favorite 80’s cult show theme, and simultaneously sound like a delightful dumpster dive of spaghetti western-psychedelics, Anatolian funk, sampling and hazy electronics.
