GALATA

Turkish Psych & Rock from Halle (Saale), Germany

Founded in 2012 in Halle (Saale), Germany, GALATA embarked on its musical journey playing world music & ethnic fusion from Turkey, the Balkans, and the Mediterranean. The band made an impact on the local music scene, performing at numerous venues across Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, and gaining airplay on radio while being featured in newspapers.

As time went by, GALATA faced changes due to family and academic pursuits, leading most of the founders to bid farewell to Halle. Yet, GALATA persevered and transformed. The band has embraced a new sound, immersing themselves in the realm of Turkish psych & rock and microtonal music. This amalgamation weaves threads of tradition with the electricity of the present.

With roots in the heart of Turkish musical traditions and a nod to the psychedelic rock soundscape, GALATA continues to resonate with audiences, proving that music’s transformative power transcends time.
