Turkish and German-Turkish Pop Music

Beschreibung

The rediscovery of Anatolian pop sparked growing musicological interest. This volume compiles over 15 years of research on music in Turkey.
Today, the neo-Anatolian pop music scene is thriving, and there is an abundance of reissues of Anatolian pop from the 1960s and 1970s. Sparked by U.S. hip-hop beat diggers in 2006, this trend has also led to a growing musicological interest in Anatolian pop and rock. This volume compiles over 15 years of research on Turkish music focusing on productions from Turkey and Germany. Key questions include the conditions that led to the emergence of Anatolian pop as a hybrid style and its relationship with other styles, such as arabesk, belly dance, folk, and hip-hop. The status of Turkish music in Germany is also examined, asking why this vast music production was ignored and excluded from the German music market and media for decades.

»This chapter owes a debt of thanks to Lund’s illuminating essay ›Anatolian Rock: Phenomena of Hybridization‹«.

»Cornelia and Holger Lund provide a critical reading of the history of Turkish pop music’s reception in Germany, […] the authors point out how their subject is a blind spot in (ethno)musicological research.«

»[The authors] criticize numerous instances of racism that fueled social and cultural divisions […]. Against this backdrop, the authors not only trace the commercial success of Turkish pop music in and from Germany, which has been largely ignored by the ›German dominant society‹, but also place this music in the context of past and current political debates.«
