Life and career

Early years and career beginnings

Karaböcek is one of the first names in arabesque and fantasy music and has tried many styles during her music career but she has earned reputation primarily from her unique arabesque songs which feature fantasy elements. Born Saniye Gülden Göktürk, after completing her primary and secondary education in Ankara, she took singing and solfege lessons from Yaşar Aydaş at Ankara Radio. She came to Istanbul with her family from Ankara and completed her first records at the age of 14–15: "Yazılanlar Gelir Başa & Garip Kaldım". Famous artist Orhan Gencebay accompanied Karaböcek on this plaque, playing bağlama. She released her first record under the name Gülden Göktürk, but due to several issues in her family, in 1972 by a court order she took the surname that her sister, famous musician Neşe Karaböcek, had chosen for herself.[1]

In April 1982, her album Gülden Fırtınası was released, which featured the hit songs "Küstüm Sana Dünya", "Mahşer Gününde", "İki Kelime", "Can mı Dayanır" and "Nasıl Güleyim", but did not provide the expected commercial success.[1]

The song "Anne" (Mother) from the album Silemem, which was written by Mehmet Yüzüak, received acclaim from critics and fans.[2]

2000s onwards

In 2004, Karaböcek was among the artists that were featured on the album Söz Vermiş Şarkılar in tribute to Murathan Mungan and performed the song "Otel Odaları". In 2006, together with Muazzez Abacı, she performed at the Nostalgic Lake Casino during the İzmir Fair after 22 years.[3][4]

On 5 April 2010, during an interview for Milliyet she was asked by Olcay Ünal Sert: "There's a rebellion in your songs. In your song ‘Sürünüyorum’ you say "Create me again to relieve me from this pain", and in ‘Kırılsın Ellerim’ you say "When will this end my God?, We have stayed in days that don't have a tomorrow". What was this rebellious behavior in those years?", to which she responded "It reflects a period. After the September 1980 revolution, came across a painful period. People found solace in painful songs. We are currently experiencing a new critical period. I'm just the performer thought, you need to ask the one who wrote the songs about the actual meaning behind them."[5]

In 2012, she was awarded the Lifetime Honorary Award at the 18th Golden Lens Awards of the 18th Journalists' Association held at the Sheraton Hotel in Ataköy, Istanbul. After receiving the award, she said thanked her fans and the people and said: "You are the real owners of my songs".[6][7][8]

In 2015 Karaböcek gave a series of concerts in Germany in the cities of Dortmund, Cologne, Essen, Berlin,[9] and gave her first concert in 2016 in her birthplace Başkent, Ankara.[10] On 5 July 2016, she performed in Didim,[11][12] followed by another concert on 7 July in Karaman during the 1st International Başyayla Cherry and Culture Festival.[13] On 5 November 2016, she celebrated her birthday with a concert in Istanbul's Beirut Performance Hall.[14][15][16]
