Donüsüm are an important mostly folkrock band. They released some singles under the leadership of Halit Kakinc from the late '60's to mid '70's. These contain Turkish folk instrumentation (rebab, gubuz, tanbur, saz) with some classic rock additions.
"Güle Oynaya" is moog with drums, bass.
The founder of the group was manager/producer Ali Eraslan. "Halit Kakinc and Muhtar Turan were the Duo. Group became the trio with Atilla Hunal. They were fab four when music writer Arda Uskan from Hey Music Magazine introduced Oruc Guvenc to the group.Seyid Osman being released. It was in Tatar Language with Turkish folk instruments (rebab, gubuz, tanbur, baglama) with some classic rock additions. A year later Atilla, Muhtar and Ali Eraslan left the group. DONUSUM was re-formed as pop group with their new members and new style...The group was lasted about two years. Original Donusum might still be an important ethno psych folk band if survived. Manager & Producer Ali Eraslan was trying to get symphonic - rock behind the group as back-up. With “MEVLANA”'s lyricks"come, come who ever you are..." was one of Ali Eraslan's production with Vivaldi's composition. Ali thought it would be ideal for world-pop music blending Eastern Poet with Western Classical harmony with the beat and bring those two very well known characters together from the same century. The earlier DONUSUM was full of new musical ideas..."
