Early years
The group was founded in July 1969 by Doğan Canku, Ahmet Kurtaran and Selami Karaibrahimgil. In the same year they accompanied Esin Afşar in her song Bebek. In 1970, they began to produce their own records. In 1971 September two members of the group got married and they temporarily put a halt to their activities.[1]
Beginning by the end of 1972 however they resumed their activities. Their new LP of 1973 included arranged form of Turkish art music and an example of Western music as well as their conventional genre. Also in 1973 they participated in singing a multi singer melody Arkadaş Dur Bekle (Turkish version of Auntie) and Kim Ayırdı Sevenleri, Turkish version of Une Belle Histoire, Michel Fugain's famous song together with Tanju Okan and Nilüfer. These songs were recorded as 45 rpm.
Music contests
The group participated in Seoul Music competition in 1978 with Ali Kocatepe.[2] They also attempted to represent Turkey in the Eurovision Song Contests 1978 and 1981; in the first case with Nükhet Duru and in the second case with Ayşegül Aldinç. They took third place in 1978 and first place in 1981. Nevertheless, in the Eurovision Song Contest 1981 in Dublin, they gained only 9 points and shared 18th place with Portugal.[3]
Later years
During the 1990s they concentrated on the concerts. One of the important CDs in the 1990s was İstanbul Şarkıları (Songs of İstanbul) with Emel Sayın. But that CD was made by Yapı ve Kredi Bankası, a bank and was not released to public.[4] After 2000 they released their own albums.[1] Original members of the band haven't changed except period between 1995 and 1999, when Doğan Canku was replaced by Yavuz Çetin.
Selami Karaibrahimgil died on 28 December 2024, at the age of 80.[5]
