Sakiler

With over a hundred million views on YouTube, the Turkish band Sakiler is nothing short of a sensation. Their sound, a blend of modern pop and rock with a distinct arabesque twist, is a proven hit. Following their breakthrough hit Dünyadan Uzak, they released a string of songs steeped in melancholy and longing. Lead singer Hasan Gözetlik adds extra depth with his emotional trombone and trumpet melodies. 
  
Sakiler consists of a core of three exceptionally versatile musicians. Besides frontman Gözetlik, these are Yücel Girgin on both electric and acoustic guitar, and Serkan Balkan on keys, whose arrangements define the band’s signature sound. The band quickly won over a large audience with hit singles like Yalanı Bırak, Canıma Minnet, and Aşığın Kaderi.
