Anatolian (or Turkish) rock began to develop in Turkey since the mid-50s under the influence of the British rock band The Shadows. In the sixties, the genre was gaining momentum with the growing popularity of the bands The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. Anatolian rock is a mixture of traditional Turkish motifs and rock music. Songs are most often performed in Turkish. Among the well-known performers of the genre: Erkin Koray, Jem Karadja, the group Moğollar, Mor ve Ötesi, Gripin, KargO and Duman. Every weekday is a new playlist in the "Genre of the Day" rubric.
