facebook/middle.east.ethnic.music Kara Gunes was formed in 1997 in Ankara. It was at first a rock band influenced by Anatolian music, and in its early work depicted the human self-journey, and criticised the system and routine of daily life. A few years later the band left Ankara and travelled between Izmir, Istanbul, Antalya and other cities, performing with various musicians. The product of the group varied with the inclusion of local musicians and the influence of the local culture. After settling down in Istanbul in 2004, Kara Gunes started a new musical journey, with varying participants and including the use of traditional instruments such as the santur, ney and kemence. Since then it has become one of the leading groups performing around Istanbul and representing street culture. Kara Gunes also took part in video collectives such as For peace 100 short Film project, İncir Çekirdeği(long film 2010)and provıded musıc for many documentaries and short films.
