Ein goldener Tag is the German translation of the Turkish band name of the rock and psychedelic band Altın Gün, which has been riding the wave of success since it was founded in 2016. The artists impressively prove that world music does not have to be pathetic and cerebral, as some clichés claim about global music and culture mixes. They already showed what they’re made of at the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Coachella Festival – and now Berlin can also show itself at the Pure&Crafted 2022 get caught up in the fusion of Turkish folklore and psychedelic rock.
The collective of Dutch and Turkish musicians has now released four albums. Their sound contains funky and pop-fresh elements, but also traditional Turkish folklore, as the singers Merve Daşdemir and Erdinç Ecevit Yıldız know from their homeland. In 2019, Altın Gün were even nominated for a Grammy in the category “Best World Music Album” – an enormous push that brought the act many new fans on its tour through the States.
