Duman

About

Duman is a Turkish rock group with a unique style that blends Turkish folk influenced vocal styles and Western instrumentation, particularly that of the grunge genre. The band consists of Kaan Tangöze on vocals and guitar, Batuhan Mutlugil on lead guitar and backing vocals and Ari Barokas on bass guitar. Later, Cengiz Baysal, a graduate of Berklee Music School, joined the group as drummer. Formed in 1997, Duman, which is literally translated to "smoke," has since built a devout fan base in its native country.
