1. Istanbul-based instrumental progressive rock band KES is the new kid on the block in the instrumental rock musicโs world.
KES was formed in 2012 by Mehmet Demirdelen (Drums), Cenk Turanlฤฑ (Bass) and Emre Kula (Guitar), who met as students at Istanbulโs Yildiz Universityโs School of Music. Listening to KES, the flow, funk and friendship between these talented musicians immediately becomes clear. Having recorded the album live certainly aided its high level of energy.
The progressive rock audience will appreciate the musical craftsmanship of the album โ drums, bass, guitar and their intricate arrangements catch the listener right away. From the first beats to the last notes, this is an album made by musicians with a capital M.
In an album review by Geoff Barton in Classic Rock Magazine, KES is being described as โinspired by the dark, jagged power of Meshuggah and Toolโ and โstrongly recommendedโ, stating that โthese young Turks will surely make waves outside their home country soon.โ
With Kamlama, KES does an impressive job in showing where instrumental progressive rock music could be going in the years to come. Not surprisingly, itโs been said that KES is one of the best things that happened in Turkish rock lately. Itโs hard to disagree.
Kamlama was recorded live in January 2014 at Maslak 1024 Studios by Murat Gรผlbay and Cem รmeroฤlu. Selim Demirdelen shot the first music video for the track Hak.
KES has played countless concerts and festivals in Turkey and will be touring Germany and Switzerland with 10 concerts between December 2016 โ January 2017. In addition to the groupโs recent tour, KES will be taking stage in New York in early 2017 and is invited to perform at the Austin Instrumental Music Festival on February 25th, 2017.
2. Melbourne, Australia - Karl Scullin - former member of Bird Blobs, Mum Smokes. Scullin's guitar work often pulls obtuse shapes and places them in a distinctly playful way amidst the signature balance of his effortless knack for melodic song structures and exhilaratingly abrasive turns.
3. Kes or Kes the Band is a Trinidadian soca band formed in 2005 by brothers, Kees (lead vocals), Hans (drums) and Jon Dieffenthaller (guitar) and close friend Riad Boochoon (bass guitar). All of them are alumni of Presentation College, San Fernando in Trinidad & Tobago, as is well-known soca artiste Machel Montano. Noted for high energy live performances and the soulful voice of lead singer, Kees, the band has captured the hearts of many. It has become one of the most popular and sought after bands in Trinidad and Tobago and also throughout the Caribbean, US and Canada.

@fran man Ah yesโฆ continue to further separate us, instead of acknowledging how much we are one people and how much culture (including music) we share so similarly. We exist in this splintered fashion because we were forcefully divided by the slave trade. But we are one people.
Want to know something cool? In my country in West Africa our population is made up of we are made up of indigenous Africans, African Americans, Caribbeans, and Lebanese. And our population has been like this for hundreds of years. Many of us are a mix of those heritages. A true representation of much of the black diaspora.
Each Caribbean island is unique and has its own flavor and ethnic makeup, that is beautiful. But if you deny that much of your culture and history was birthed from Africa, there is a a really important place in the diaspora you lose and you have really allowed the white man to cut your history short.
He is not saying that this afrobeat. Afrobeats is new. He is saying that the beats Kes captures are African, with a flavor from way back that connects us all. The entire diaspora has a claim to that Africa. When my mom first heard Jolene, she was shocked that it was not an African song. The beat, lyrics, and feel are so African. It is cool that being from the islands, you have so many beautiful ethnic heritages to inspire and pull from a claim as yours. Africa is one of those.
Itโs all love bro ๐

Kes should've been nominated for a Grammy.
Sarah Castro
For that to happen we would need a category for SOCA. At the moment it is placed under Reggie or world music ๐คจ. Can't wait for the rest of the world to recognise or appreciate this music. The Caribbean needs it's own awards ceremony.
Kent Fisher
@Sarah Castro You are absolutely correct! Back in the early 90s, there used to be a Caribbean Music Awards where Soca had it's own category. I wish that award show would come back! The first annual is actually on YT.
