In 1965, Bob Dylan became the center of the so-called “Electric Dylan Controversy”: he was accused of no less than having betrayed folk music and its political ideas by having electrified his music. In the same year 1965, the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet started the “Golden Microphone.” The core task in this extremely popular song contest was to re-arrange and perform a Turkish folk song in Western style.

This led to the development of a new Turkish style of music called Anatolian Rock, which combines country and city, folk and rock in a very specific way.
