De Centrale
Selin + Lalalar
Istanbul Ekspres Festival
Istanbul bursts with energy. From the bustling streets, Lalalar bubble up with Anatolian funk and fresh psychedelia. Their sound immerses you in a futuristic nostalgia, where retro-cinematic bass lines merge with raw electro beats, fragmented vocals, playful guitars, and carefully mined samples from Anatolia’s rich musical heritage.
Since 2019, these three sonic innovators have been making music that makes you dance and think at the same time – whether you’re in a crowd or lost in your own thoughts. With 10 singles already under their belt, their debut album “Bi Cinnete Bakar” was released in 2022, quickly followed by “En Kötü İyi Olur” in 2023. A concert to lose yourself in.
