By mixing oriental instruments such as the darbuka, electric saz, and spoons with electronics and modern sounds, BaBa Zula creates a sound all their own called "Oriental Dub". Despite sounds that might initially come to mind when one hears the phrase "Oriental Dub", their music is in fact rock'n roll that rolls in a way that westerners haven't heard since the late '60s rock epoch. Baba Zula share their legacy with us through their music, a music born out of Istanbul and influenced by the memories of Istanbul passed on to them from generations past. Their ritual-like live performances are a mixture of disciplines of art, often featuring belly dancers, elaborate costumes, poetry, theatre and live animation, delivering viewers a tantalizing audio-visual feast. The group, which from the very beginning has shown great interest in featuring guest musicians and players in concerts and albums, has been accompanied by stars such as the Thracian clarinet master Selim Sesler, the Canadian singer Brenna MacCrimmon, Alexander Hacke (Einsturzende Neubaten), Fred Frith (Henry Cow, John Zorn, etc), Jaki Liebezeit (Can), Sly and Robbie, Mad Professor etc. Besides their regular albums: “Tabutta Rovasata” (1996), “Three Plays From Seventeen Pieces” (1999), “Psychebelly Dance Music” (2003) “Duble Oryantal” (2005) and “Roots” (2007), Baba Zula have composed several mood-setting pieces for movies over the years. The band also appeared in the Berlin International Film Festival Golden Bear award-winning director Fatih Akın's film “Crossing the Bridge”, that explores the sounds of Istanbul. The group also provided music for the film by recording with Einsturzende Neubauten's Alexander Hacke.
