Duman
Biography
It's hard to place Duman under a single genre, as various influences can be heard throughout their albums — but a grunge feel combined with Turkish folk themes and an overall Arabic vocal style could somewhat provide an initial clue. The hardcore fan base of Duman may be populated mostly by teenagers around the age of 18, but the band is actually a massive influence in the modern Turkish rock scene. Although they may not be the first to cover Arabic styles or folk songs, they were definitely the first to make such musical approaches huge in 21st century Turkey. Duman are comprised of three permanent members: Kaan Tangoze (vocals/guitars), Ari Borakas (bass), and Batuhan Mutlugil (guitars). The first roots of the band may be found in Mad Madam, which was a cover band with a set list full of songs from Seattle groups. Kaan Tangoze and Ari Borakas were together in Mad Madam until Tangoze flew to Seattle to earn a graduate degree. Upon returning to Turkey with a handful of songs molded in the spirit of the Seattle scene, Tangoze formed Duman with Ari Barakos from his former group and Batuhan Mutlugil from another local cover band. After first deciding to work with session drummers, drummer Alen Konakoglu took on this responsibility and the group released Eski Köprünün Altinda in 1999..
