Most of ‘Dost 2’’s material was composed by the band, with two notable tracks composed by guitarist flautist Antonin Voyant whose melodic work brings the music to an unnostalgic, yet deep and meaningful place. The lyrics were penned by Derya Yıldırım in collaboration with Berlin based writer Duygu Ağal, adding another string to Grup Şimşek’s bow.

Here they captured a lively, unique piece of interpretation which connects to the meaning of ‘Dost’ as the text inserted inside the vinyl / CD explains “DOST is a friend, a comrade, a brother, a sister and even more than that. DOST is the connection to keep this life and world meaningful”. No doubt that with ‘Dost 2’ Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek will bring sounds, people and emotions together.
