Mogollar

Mogollar is one of the pioneer bands in Turkish rock music for about 30 years and one of the founders of Turkish ethno rock music (or Anatolian pop music). The major goal of the band is to prove that the folk music has a multi-layered soul and folk music's dynamism is very close to pop music's dynamism. The band members (Aziz Azmet, Cahit Berkay, Taner Ongur, Engin Yorukoglu and Murat Ses) tried to fuse the technical aspects of pop music with the melodies of ancient Anatolian folk music in late 60s and early 70s.

Group reunited in early 90s without Murat Ses. Murat Ses is dealing with other projects still pursuing an extraordinary international career.
