Turkish rocker Taner Ongur, best known as the bassist of the classic Anatolian Rock band Mogollar, uses music to explore curious incidents from the dusty pages of modern Turkish history.
Ongur’s latest release, the third album from the 69-year-old musician and his band in three years, is "Asri Sada," old Turkish for "Modern Times." Yet the album's themes are anything but contemporary. They allow listeners to travel back to the Turkey of the 1930s-1960s.
