Zel Zele is extremely proud to present the first-ever reissue of a cult classic from 1974, written, produced, and arranged by Anatolian rock pioneer Barış Manço, backed by his legendary Kurtalan Ekspres band. Sevil and Ayla’s Bebek / Irgat is a highly sought-after Turkish folk and psychedelic single, sung by Yeşilçam stars Sevil & Ayla during the golden era of Anatolian Rock music.
A-side Bebek hardly needs an introduction, being a rare gem among crate diggers and beat enthusiasts. The track’s strings and bass are a nod to the iconic groove of Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love, creating instant recognition. Sevil and Ayla’s haunting vocals add a moody twist, narrating the tragic tale of a crazed mother over losing her baby to an eagle. On the B-side, Irgat is an underrated rider’s groove with an incredible break and keyboard solo, perfect for keeping the dance floor swinging.
