Anatolian Rock (n.) [ænəˈtoʊliən ɹɑk]: Anatolian rock gets its name from the Turkish ethnic group “Anatolians” and the combination of the rock and roll influence of the mid 1960’s. Although the word rock typically centers around a more defined sound that we know from this era, Anatolian Rock fell under a more broad band of other genres like folk, jazz, psychedelic rock, disco, Western pop, progressive, classical and traditional Turkish music. Or rather than just being a mixture of European art music and Turkish music, Anatolian Rock was a mixture of Euro-American rock and roll and Turkish music, played in conjunction with western and Turkish instruments.

What is The Subgenropedia?
Welcome to the Subgenropedia. Each week I, Alex Neill, will take a look at an unknown subgenre in the music industry, explore its history, learn its musical styles and influences, and discover some of the pioneers behind the music.
