Join us to welcome the release of Direne Direne: Revolutionary Songs from Turkey, a compilation of leftist music released as a cassette by Torn Light Records as part of their Radio Topo series. Curated by Isaac Hand and Zeynel Gül, the tape captures the socialist chants, folk songs and psychedelic rock anthems that gave cultural expression to Turkey's left during the 60s and 70s. The event will include a short discussion with the curators and a live performance of a few songs. Purchase the tape here. Read its accompanying essay here.
