Derya’s musical roots started at home playing folk music with family members. Her father pushed her to learn various instruments, beginning with the bağlama, a seven stringed Turkish lute. Then she picked up the guitar, piano, and saxophone. Although she is a multi-instrumentalist, Derya always felt drawn to the sound of the bağlama. With her band Grup Şimşek’s forthcoming album Yarın Yoksa, which translates to If There’s No Tomorrow, Derya continues her journey revitalizing Anatolian folk music and instrumentation by infusing timeless melodies with a modern psychedelic flair. ​Ten years ago, Derya met French musicians Graham Mushnik and Antonin Voyant from Catapulte Records and formed the band Grup Şimşek with Helen Wells, a drummer from Cape Town, South Africa joining in 2021. While the band is truly international, they eschew the term ‘world music’, preferring instead ‘outernational’ which they say suggests a sound that’s more inclusive or “beyond borders.” DY&GS embody what defines Anatolian folk music — “You need a groove and a melody, and everything around it is free.” It’s this ethos that guides the band’s songwriting and the way they take on Anatolian folk standards. “I believe the melodies shouldn't be changed because we are responsible to preserve music in the correct way. Our versions respect the roots. It’s the same lyrics and melody, but it has a different soul maybe.” While it’s easy to think of folk music as a music of the past, she insists it’s just as important today. “Some of these poems were written hundreds of years ago but they’re still relevant. This music is so important because it remains the voice of the people, the minority, and the oppressed.” After self-producing multiple albums, they signed with New York’s Big Crown Records in 2024 and teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer Leon Michels (El Michels Affair) for Yarın Yoksa. The new album embodies their balance of preservation and innovation across nine original compositions and three traditional folk songs. It is a record that will enchant any listener regardless of language barrier with Derya’s passion and authenticity front and center and music too moving to deny. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/rock-island/outlet-programme-and-ragged-records-present-derya-yildrim-and-grup-ŞimŞek-at-rozz-tox/200029961053350 - **Event Categories**: Music, Entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Rock Island - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: Rozz-Tox - **lat**: 41.509783211504 - **long**: -90.569948855647 - **full address**: Rozz-Tox, 2108 3rd Ave, Rock Island, IL 61201-8805, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Outlet Programme & Ragged Records Present: DERYA YILDRIM & GRUP ŞIMŞEK at Rozz-Tox - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/48499589e086e214d5e4ade6b7efae3cc9f9af61d7e132e4f926029e5f14f34a-rimg-w1200-h817-dcf0dac2-gmir?v=1776451490 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Outlet Programme & Ragged Records Present: DERYA YILDRIM & GRUP ŞIMŞEK at Rozz-Tox being held? - **A:** Outlet Programme & Ragged Records Present: DERYA YILDRIM & GRUP ŞIMŞEK at Rozz-Tox takes place on Fri, 12 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 12 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Rozz-Tox, 2108 3rd Ave, Rock Island, IL 61201-8805, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Outlet Programme & Ragged Records Present: DERYA YILDRIM & GRUP ŞIMŞEK at Rozz-Tox? - **A:** Outlet Programme & Ragged Records Present: DERYA YILDRIM & GRUP ŞIMŞEK at Rozz-Tox is organized by Ragged Records. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Outlet Programme & Ragged Records Present: DERYA YILDRIM & GRUP ŞIMŞEK at Rozz-Tox", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/48499589e086e214d5e4ade6b7efae3cc9f9af61d7e132e4f926029e5f14f34a-rimg-w1200-h817-dcf0dac2-gmir?v=1776451490", "startDate": "2026-06-12T19:00:00-05:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/rock-island/outlet-programme-and-ragged-records-present-derya-yildrim-and-grup-ŞimŞek-at-rozz-tox/200029961053350", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Rozz-Tox", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "2108 3rd Ave, Rock Island, IL 61201-8805, United States", "addressLocality": "Rock Island", "addressRegion": "IL", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "41.509783211504", "longitude": "-90.569948855647" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Outlet Programme & Ragged Records Present:\n\nDERYA YILDIRIM & GRUP ŞIMŞEK\n\nsupport TBA\n\n*Tickets on sale Friday March 13th 9AM\n$25 general $20 advance\nall ages\n7pm doors, 8pm show\n\nDERYA YILDIRIM & GRUP ŞIMŞEK\nhttps://deryayildirimandgrupsimsek.bandcamp.com/album/yar-n-yoksa\n\nBorn in Hamb", "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Ragged Records", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/ragged-records/9017708", "description": "418 E. 2nd St. Davenport, IA 52801 BUY.
