Effective period / Period of releases: 2015 - 2017

Formed in Esquiceir, Turkey in 2000.
Gevende is a band from the recently evolving music scene of Turkey.
On stage Gevende makes a music which has no boundaries. They build up a context around it and end up with an inconceivable performance constructed with simple musical elements. It is hard to insert such a musical approach into a musical genre but folk rock or psychedelic folk would be convenient to define their music.
Gevende?s musical taste consists of collected pieces from every place they go, all the music they listen to, every culture they touched and make a fusion which can be loved by the people of all lands. In September 2006 they hit the road for a musical journey which influenced their music and affected their lives forever. They took a route through Iran, Pakistan, India, to Nepal where they shared their music with local artists and experienced a musical interaction with those lands which was a lifetime experience for sure.
In their songs, Gevende uses a language which belongs to nowhere. It is an imaginary mixture or phonetic imitation of the world languages so that everyone could find a word or a sound of his/her own. The spontaneous tongue of world we call it.
