Biography
Biography
Yurtseven Kardeşler (literally "the Yurtseven Siblings" in Turkish), or YK for short, was a band working in Germany where they used to reside. Between 1985 and 1987, they released two amateur albums and gained some attention. Their break came with an appearance in 1988 on German TV channel ZDF's "Nachbarn in Europa" programme.
Yurtseven Kardeşler's relatively successful albums included: Bir Tek Sen / Barış Olsun in 1998, Toprak in 2000 (both on the Akbaş Müzik label) and De Bana / Of Anam Of in 2001, published jointly on Akbaş Müzik/Türküola.
In 2004, after searching for bigger labels, the Avrupa Müzik offered them a contract and the album Şimdi Halay Zamanı in 2004 and Seni Hiç Aşık Oldun Mu? in 2007 were released finding huge success in Turkey.
In addition, a member of the Yurtseven Kardeşler, namely İsmail YK has a very successful solo career.
