Biography
He was the only child of Mehmet İbrahim
Karaca, a theatre actor , a popular opera,
theatre and movie actressof Armenian origin.His
first group was called Dynamites and was a
classic rock cover band. Later he
joined Jaguars, an Elvis Presley cover band. In
1967, he started to write his own music, joining
the band Apaşlar (The Rowdies), his
first Turkish-language group. The same year, he
participated in the Golden
Microphone (Turkish: Altın Mikrofon) contest, a
popular music contest in which he won second
place with his song Emrah. In 1969, Karaca and
bass-player Serhan Karabay left Apaşlar and
started an original Anatolian group
called Kardaşlar (The Brothers).
In 1972, Karaca joined the group Moğallar (The
Mongols) and wrote one of his best-known
songs, "Namus Belası". However, Cahit Berkay,
the leader of Moğollar, wanted an international
name for his band, and he left for France to take
the group to the next level. Karaca, who wanted
to continue his Anatolian beat sound, left
Moğollar and started his own
band Dervişan (Dervishes) in 1974. Karaca and
Dervişan sang poetic and progressive songs.

violence between supporters of the left and the right,
separatist movements and the rise of Islamism. As
the country fell into chaos, the government
suspected Cem Karaca of involvement in rebel
organisations. He was accused of treason for being
a separatist thinker and a Marxist-Leninist. The
Turkish government tried to portray Karaca as a
man who was unknowingly writing songs to start a
revolution. One politician was quoted as saying,
"Karaca is simply calling citizens to a bloody war
against the state." Dervişan was ultimately dissolved
at the end of 1977. In 1978, he founded Edirdahan,
an acronym for "from Edirne to Ardahan"; the
