The standout psychedelic event of the year returns in 2023. Chanteuse Djanan Turan leads The Flying Karpet collective and guests for the fourth annual musical homage to the late, great Barış Manço.
The Istanbul-born star, who passed away in 1999, is one of the godfathers of Anatolian rock, forging a distinctive sound that continues to resonate not only in Turkiye, but around the world.
In 2019, Turan and friends took to the stage at London’s Jazz Café to celebrate this influential rock pioneer on the twentieth anniversary of his passing, playing his biggest hits to a packed audience, who happily added their vocals to each song.
Fast forward to 2022, and The Psychedelic World of Barış Manço has become an annual fixture in Turkish London’s social calendar, while also proving a big draw for fans of psychedelic rock. Join them on 12 January for a 90-minute live set.
