Influences

The explosives sounds of NIDA are a collection of Turkish rock music which was created with the influences of the melodies of Turkish rock gods such as Baris Manco, Cem Karaca, 3 Hurel, Edip Akbayram and Mogollar – a style of music labeled "Anadolu Rock". At the same time further influences from modern Turkish rock music artists played a major role.
