Artist Profile

Duman

Duman is a Turkish rock band. The band combines elements of traditional Turkish folk music with modern rock.

Kaan began writing songs for the Turkish Rock band he would go on to form while living in Seattle in the early 1990s, and performing with a band called Mad Madame. Upon returning to Turkey, he reunited with former classmate Ari and his bandmate in the Blue Blues Band, Batuhan. Together they formed Duman. After an initial search for a drummer, they decided to work with session musicians. They predominantly worked with drummer Alen Konakoğlu prior to their last album.

Duman has recorded three studio albums, and a live album. They released their first album, “Eski Köprünün Altında” (under the old bridge) in 1999 and second, “Belki Alışman Lazım” (maybe you need to get used to it) in 2002. Both albums achieved great success in Turkey and spearheaded a new generation of Turkish rock bands that reached the mainstream. In 2004, they released their live album, “Konser”. Their fourth album, “Seni Kendime Sakladım” (I kept you to myself) was released in July 2005. Duman was the first Turkish rock band to release a live concert in DVD format (2004).
