At the latest since Fatih Akin's award-winning documentary' Crossing the Bridge', BaBa ZuLa have been considered a spearhead of progressive Turkish music even beyond the Orient. The tradition of the Sufi, Turkish gypsies and pre-Islamic shaman music meet modern Orient-Dub, Anatolian folk and 60's psych-rock. The band's credo is constant improvisation and reinterpretation of the existing.
Live and in the studio, BaBa ZuLa have worked with artists such as Jaki Liebezeit (Can), Dr. Das (Asian Dub Foundation), Mad Professor (Massive Attack, Lee 'Scratch' Perry) and Alexander Hack (Einstürzende Neubauten). With their swashbuckling melange of caravan grooves, shaman whispers, club sounds and psych-folk anthems, BaBa ZuLa enchanted their fans in Tokyo, New York City, New Delhi, Sao Paulo and Kazakhstan as well as on European festival stages like Roskilde, Sziget, Fusion and Paleo Festival.
