Style and Society - Istanbul's Music Scene in the 1960s and 1970s: Musical Hybridism, the Gazino, and Social Tolerance

Abstract

The term hybridization is becoming more and more common in scholarly literature on music. It is here used as defined in a previous text by author Holger Lund: »The term hybridization is used in its biological sense, meaning something which is a product of two different species that have been crossbred. A hybrid is something consisting of different origins, transgressing the old order of the former species to build up something new« (Lund 2011). 2 Cf. http://www.stonesthrow.com/podcast (accessed 13.4.2015). 3 Gabriel Skoog said about this irritating listening experience: »One of the pleasures of list[en]ing to hybrid genres for the first time is the bending of frame involved as we reorient ourselves in relationship to the piece« (Skoog 2012: 91).
