I always look forward to learning about what bands are 'in' and what songs are 'hot' in Turkiye during my visit. Obviously, music is universal and what is popular in the US is also well-known here. But I also get a kick out of listening to Turkish pop musik which sometimes share similarities with the sounds we're used to in the states.
One example is a band called "Gece" (pronounced Geh-Jeh, 'c' sounds like a 'j' in Turkish), which means the night. The song is entitled "Aşık Mıyız?" which asks the question "Are we in love?"
Check out the video below and let me know your thoughts. (If you can't view the clip, go here).
I rather enjoyed this song. What do you think? Would the band translate well in the states?

hi. i just came back from istanbul myself and i fell in love with this song, which is precisely how i stumbled across your blog. i was searching for any english info on it. yes, i think this beats a lot of the crappy music already on the market in the states. it's too bad that they aren't playing in english, or that translations are so hard to find on the net. thanks for the pronunciation tips though, really helped.
